BIBLIOGRAPHY  OF  COLLEGE,  SOCIAL, 
UNIVERSITY  AND  CHURCH  SETTLEMENTS. 
COMPILED  BY  CAROLIN*E  WILLIAMSON 
MONTGOMERY,  CHICAGO,  ILLINOIS,  FOR 
THE  COLLEGE  SETTLEMENTS  ASSOCIATION. 

FOURTH     EDITION,     REVISED     AND     ENLARGED 


PRINTED    IN     THE    YEAR     NINETEEN     HUNDRED 
AT         NEW         YORK         CITY,         NEW        YORK. 


Editor^s  Note 

It  was  the  intention  of  the  compiler  to  make  some  distinction,  through 
the  inclusion  or  exclusion  of  settlements,  by  which  a  definition  of  a  settlement 
could  be  reached.  As  returns  to  a  circular  of  questions  sent  to  each  settlement 
came  in,  and  v/ere  studied,  and  as  prominent  settlement  workers  were  consulted 
in  regard  to  certain  requisites  of  a  true  settlement,  and  the  manner  in  which 
various  individual  settlements  met  these  requirements,  it  became  apparent  that 
lines  of  sharp  division  could  not  be  drawn.  There  are  settlements  with  no 
residents  that  have  more  truly  the  settlement  spirit  than  many  another  with  a 
number  of  resident  workers.  There  are  settlements  with  a  definite  propaganda 
which  touch  the  life  about  them  more  closely  than  others  that  claim  to  hold 
themselves  open  to  every  desire  of  the  neighborhood,  regardless  of  creed, 
race  or  sex.  Moreover,  to  judge  fairly  one  must  know  work  at  first  hand,  and 
that  of  course  is  an  impossibility  in  any  such  compilation.  Even  then,  any 
decision  must  often  depend  upon  personal  feeling  or  predilection.  Therefore 
it  has  been  deemed  wise  to  include  in  this  fourth  edition  everything  that  calls 
itself  a  settlement.  But  that  each  reader  may  be  able  to  draw  his  own 
conclusions,  the  editor  has  tried  to  show  definitely  and  clearly  under  each 
settlement  the  character  of  its  activities  and  the  scope  of  its  work,  arranged 
from  questions  answered  by  the  head  resident  of  the  settlement  in  question,  as 
well  as  from  printed  reports.  The  number  of  resident  and  non-resident 
workers  are  given  and  the  affiliations  and  support  so  far  as  feasible. 

It  becomes  more  and  more  evident,  however,  that  the  name  "  settlement  " 
as  well  as  the  idea  on  which  the  movement  is  founded  have  been  and  are 
increasingly  abused.  The  name  has  lost  its  significance.  It  is  as  anomalous 
as  the  term  "  college  "  in  some  states.  Unfortunately,  it  has  become  the  fashion 
for  missions^  schools,  parish  houses,  institutions,  and  others  to  label  themselves 
settlements.  The  name  has  acquired  a  certain  prestige.  Either  its  meaning 
will  grow  more  and  more  indefinite  or  people  will  be  willing  to  return  to  the 
old-fashioned  terms.  Mission  is  an  honorable  word  and  has  an  honorable 
inheritance.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  some  that  have  been  anxious  to  call 
themselves  settlements  will  be  willing  to  adhere  to  old  terms.  In  spite  of  the 
looseness  in  the  use  of  name  and  idea,  which  is  perhaps  more  or  less  inevitable, 
so  much  of  what  is  good  has  permeated  the  life  and  activities  of  many 
institutions  that  it  is  evident  that  the  indirect  influence  of  settlements  is  a 
factor  not  to  be  ignored. 

That  it  is  well  nigh  an  impossibility  to  furnish  an  accurate  or  complete 
bibliography  will  be  easily  understood.  The  material  is  in  pamphlets  and 
circulars  which  do  not  find  a  place  in  public  collections,  and  in  periodicals 
which  are  too  numerous  and  too  incompletely  catalogued  to  be  trustworthy. 
It  has  not  been  possible  to  authenticate  every  reference  obtained.  Articles  of 
the  local  daily  press  have  been  omitted  as  too  inaccessible  to  be  of  value, 
except  in  the  case  of  a  few  new  settlements  about  which  nothing  else  has  been 
written. 

As  many  articles  have  appeared  which  do  not  represent  a  settlement 
correctly  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  residents,   each   settlement  has  been 


asked  to  indicate  the  articles  which  have  its  sanction.  This  does  not  mean 
that  other  references  under  each  settlement  are  not  approved  by  it.  The  editor 
has  not  been  able  to  make  use  of  some  clippings  sent  because  there  has  been 
no  clue  to  paper  or  magazine  in  which  the  article  was  published,  and  no  date. 

Aside  from  general  information,  the  aim  of  this  bibliography  has  been 
to  be  of  special  service  to  those  new  to  settlement  work  or  ideas.  With  this 
in  view,  there  have  been  added  writings  which  have  grown  out  of  the  experi- 
ence of  residence,  but  which  are  not  perhaps  strictly  about  settlement  work. 
These  may  be  found  under  Hull  House,  South  End  House,  Lincoln  House, 
etc. 

The  older  settlements  are  so  often  asked  for  lists  of  books  suitable  for 
those  desiring  to  be  settlement  workers  that  the  editor  has  added  such  an  one 
compiled  from  lists  furnished  by  some  fifty  head  residents  of  experience.  They 
are  given  in  the  order- of  the  number  of  times  they  have  been  mentioned. 

The  editor  wishes  to  extend  hearty  thanks  to  Miss  Myrta  Jones,  who 
kindly  superintended  the  printing  of  this  bibliography,  and  to  Miss  Walker 
and  Mr.  Gavit,  who  permitted,  through  the  secretary  of  the  association,  the 
use  of  the  introductions  (in  a  condensed  form)  which  they  furnished  to  the 
previous  edition. 

Corrections  and  additions  will  be  gratefully  received.

The  idea  of  a  College  Settlement  was  first  discussed  by  Smith  College 
students  in  1887,  and  in  the  following  year  a  plan  was  formulated  and  an 
appeal  for  money  sent  out.  In  October,  1889,  the  New  York  College  Settlement 
was  opened  in  Rivington  Street,  but  it  was  not  till  May  that  there  was  any 
real  organization  among  those  interested  in  the  maintenance  of  the  settlement. 
The  College  Settlements  Association  was  formed  partly  with  the  idea  of 
organizing  and  supporting  settlements,  and  further,  as  the  report  of  the 
Electoral  Board  says,  "  to  bring  all  college  women  within  the  scope  of  a  com- 
mon purpose  and  a  common  work.  .  .  .  To  extend  the  educating  power  of 
the  settlement  idea  is  the  object  of  the  College  Settlements  Association.  The 
Association  would  unite  all  college  women,  and  all  who  count  themselves  our 
friends,  in  the  trend  of  a  great  modern  movement  ;  would  touch  them  with  a 
common  sympathy  and  inspire  them  with  a  common  ideal." 

The  Association  is  represented  by  an  Electoral  Board,  which  apportions 
the  funds,  transacts  the  business  and  controls  its  general  policy. 

The  Settlements  included  in  the  Association  are  the  New  York  College 
Settlement,  the  Philadelphia  College  Settlement,  and  the  Boston  College 
Settlement,  otherwise  known  as  Dennison  House.  They  are  called  College 
Settlements  because  they  are  chiefly  controlled  and  supported  by  college 
women,  although  generous  support  is  received  from  other  sources,  and  resi- 
dence^is  in  no  way  restricted  to  college  women. 


INTRODUCTION  TO  THE  FOURTH  EDITION. 

It  is  hardly  possible  to  say  with  whom  the  modern  settlement  idea  of 
educated  people  taking  up  their  abode  among  the  poorer  or  working  classes 
originated,  but  it  was  in  England  that  the  movement  took  what  may  be  regard- 
ed as  its  formal  rise.  Under  the  inspiration  of  the  lofty  social  teachings  of 
such  men  as  Kingsley,  Frederick  Denison  Maurice,  Ruskin,  and  Thomas  Hill 
Green,  young  students  were  fired  for  social  service  and  sacrifice,  and  it  was  a 
logical  result  of  this  teaching  and  preaching  that  in  1867  Edward  Denison,  an 
Oxford  student  of  wealth  and  position,  offered  himself  to  the  Rev.  John 
Richard  Green,  then  vicar  of  St.  Philips  in  Stepney,  for  residence,  work  and 
visitation  in  that  parish.  He  lived  there  but  a  short  time — his  whole  period  of 
social  service  in  a  public  way  covered  but  two  years  and  terminated  in  his  un- 
timely death — but  at  that  time  he  conceived  and  discussed  with  his  friends  the 
project  of  such  institutions  among  the  poor  as  are  now  known  by  the  name  of 
social  settlements.  In  1875,  to  Rev.  Samuel  A.  Barnett,  then  vicar  of  St.  Jude's 
in  Whitechapel,  came  Arnold  Toynbee,  a  young  tutor  at  Oxford,  inspired  with 
the  same  desire  to  share  the  life  of  the  less  favored  classes.  He,  too,  was 
able  to  spend  but  a  short  time  in  actual  residence,  and  his  life  of  active  service 
was  sadly  brief,  burned  out  at  white  heat  ;  but  in  his  short  residence  he 
became  a  brilliant  leader  of  thought  among  the  workingmen,  and  it  was  a  fitting 
thing  that  ten  years  later  the  first  social  settlement,  dedicated  in  Whitechapel 
to  social  unification  by  Canon  Barnett,  with  whom  the  young  tutor  had  served 
as  Denison  did  with  Green,  should  be  named  in  his  honor  and  as  a  memorial 
to  his  service,  "  Toynbee  Hall." 

Once  started  the  movement  was  very  rapid  in  development,  and  in  three 
years  had  spread  to  the  United  States.  The  first  true  settlement  in  America 
was  the  College  Settlement  in  Rivington  Street,  New  York,  although  Hull 
House,  Chicago,  was  opened  in  the  same  month.  Everywhere  the  new  method 
was  recognized  as  of  great  promise  for  the  future.  It  fitted  into  the  new  ideas 
and  the  new  social  mechanism,  found  its  way  into  state  and  church  and  asso- 
ciative life,  and  proved  its  vitality  by  its  ready  adaptation  to  all  sorts  and 
conditions  of  men  and  communities.  Nearly  every  denomination  of  Protestant 
Christianity  now  has  its  representative  settlement,  and  there  are  those  manned 
by  representatives  of  the  Roman  Catholic  Church,  the  Jewish  faith  and  by  non- 
religious  folk  as  well. 

Through  stages  of  experiment,  opposition  and  misunderstanding  the 
movement  has  come  to  be  dangerously  popular.  The  method  is  being  apotheo- 
sized at  the  expense  of  the  simple  spirit,  and  many  of  the  so-called  settlements 
are  very  far  from  the  highest  ideal.  Yet  to  the  settlement,  modern  social  work 
owes  a  very  large  share  of  impulse  and  method,  and  the  list  of  settlements 
which  follows  will  serve  to  show  how  largely  its  suggestions  have  been  accepted 
by  churches  and  missions,  and  how  it  has  spread  with  all  its  vital  vigor  to 
numerous  large  social  centres  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  and  even  to  Japan.

ALABAMA 

CALHOUN 

Calhoun   School  and   Settlement. 

Calhoun,  Lowndes  Co.,  Alabama. 

Incorporated,  1892,  by  Mabel  W.  Dillingham  and  Charlotte  R.  Thorn. 
Principals,  Rev.  Pitt  Dillingham  and  Miss  Charlotte  R.  Thorn. 
Number  of  residents,  i8  seven  months  of  the  year,  6  the  year  round. 

Distinctive  work  :  "  Building  or  stimulating  the  growth  of  a  farm  village 
through  a  school  and  neighborhood  life." 

"  Coming  back  to  Lowndes  County  is  a  crucial  point.  Calhoun  stands  or 
falls  according  to  this  text  ;  its  special  business  is  furnishing  leaders  for  its  own 
county  in  Alabama.  Its  work,  in  short,  is  the  work  of  a  settlement.  It  does 
not  seek  to  draw  individuals  from  a  large  territory  and  then  scatter  them  again 
over  the  various  States  of  the  South.  It  aims  at  the  cabins  near  by.  As  little 
as  possible  of  separate  institutional  life,  as  much  as  possible  of  neighborhood 
life  with  its  own  town  and  county,  is  its  idea. 

"  Keep  in  touch  with  the  homes  and  farms,  the  schools  and  churches,  with 
all  the  life  round  about;  change  the  spirit,  raise  the  standards  of  the  neighbor- 
hood life  ;  these  must  be — object  lessons  in  home  life,  farming,  teaching  and 
religious  life — social  structure  to  discharge  social  functions.  But  the  minimum 
of  machinery  and  the  maximum  of  neighborly  life  is  the  aim. 

"  Enough  has  been  said  to  indicate  the  task,  the  double  nature,  building  the 
institutional  object-lesson,  bringing  it  to  bear  upon  the  surrounding  life,  help- 
ing those  inside  and  outside  the  settlement." — From  Fourth  Annual  Report.

LOS  ANGELES 

Casa  de  Castelar.

and  Cleveland  Streets  ;  2.  629  New  High  Street ;  3.  Castelar  and  Ord  Streets.  All,  with  present 
address  in  same  locality.) 

Founded,  February,  1894,  by  the  Los  Angeles  Branch  of  the  Association  of  Collegiate 
Alumnae,  now  under  the  Los  Angeles  Settlement  Association.

"  Casa  de  Castelar  is  located  in  a  formerly  favored  but  now  decayed  part 
of  Los  Angeles,  in  the  midst  of  a  cosmopolitan  but  largely  Spanish-American 
population. 

"  During  the  past  five  years,  Casa  de  Castelar  has  made  remarkable 
progress  and  has  become  a  permanent  educational  centre  in  the  neighborhood. 
From  a  small  beginning  in  one  room,  near  Yale  Street,  the  social  and  club 
work  has  increased  until  the  present  large  sixteen-room  house  does  not  meet 
the  need." — Fifth  Annual Eeport.

WEST  BERKELEY 

West  Berkeley  Settlement. 

2015  8th  Street,  West  Berkeley,  Cal.  (Previous  addresses,  corner  Delaware  and  6th  Streets, 
and  University  Avenue,  near  5th  Street.) 

Founded,  1894,  by  David  Barrows  and  Miss  Wambold,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
and  Y.  W.  C.  A.  of  the  University  of  California  and  an  advisory  board  composed  of  citizens  of 
East  Berkeley  and  professors  in  the  State  University. 

Head  resident.  Ruby  A.  Widd.     (Former  head  resident,  Wm.  L.  Collier.) 

Number  of  residents,  2  women.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  30. 

The  settlement  work  is  composed  of  a  civics  club,  scroll  sawing,  vocal 
music,  bookkeeping,  hammock  weaving,  sewing,  cooking,  millinery,  and  a 
mother's  club. 

"  The  settlement  work  in  West  Berkeley  is  carried  on  entirely  by  students 
of  the  University  of  California.  Recently,  through  the  generosity  of  private 
persons, we  have  moved  to  a  larger  house, where  we  have  two  resident  students. 
Materials  have  been  provided  for  extending  our  work,  and  the  coming  year 
promises  to  be  very  prosperous.  The  club  work  is  not  carried  out  along  relig- 
ious lines.     We  have  a  small  library  and  a  reading-room." — Head  Resident.

SAN  FRANCISCO 

South  Park  Settlement. 

84  South  Park,  San  Francisco,  Cal.  Also  Boys'  Club,  740  Bryant  Street,  San  Francisco. 
(Former  address,  15  South  Park.) 

Opened,  January,  189s,  by  San  Francisco  Settlements  Association. 

Head  resident.  Dr.  Dorothea  Moore.    (Former  head  resident,  Mrs.  Maria  C.  Schermerhorn.) 

Number  of  residents,  7.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  100. 

The  departments  of  work  are  in  many  cases  unique.  They  include  printing, 
chair-caning,  charcoal  drawing,  leather  sewing,  mechanical  drawing,  carpentry, 
basket  work,  shopping  bags,  plain  and  fancy  sewing,  rope  mat-making,  ham- 
mock making,  choral  singing,  cooking,  shorthand,  classes  in  mandolin  and 
guitar,  literature,  dressmaking,  clay  modeling,  flower  slipping  and  planting, 
painting,  history,  dancing,  drawing,  a  military  drill  with  drum  and  bugle 
corps,   a  gymnasium  and  library. 

"The  distinctive  work  in  1898  was  that  of  boys'  and  girls'  clubs.  Later, 
more  social  and  municipal,  but  largely  educational. 

"To  work  with  conditions  as  found,  to  turn  present  energy  in  the  direction 
of  a  fuller  social  responsibility,  and  to  place  emphasis  upon  the  educational 
and  social  side  as  its  permanent  side — this  has  been  the  aim  of  the  past  year — 
an  aim  directed  by  conviction  as  well  as  condition. 

"  The  detail  of  the  year,  therefore,  divides  itself  naturally  into  two  lines — 
that  which  comes  from  the  'settling'  —  the  feeling  with  and  for  our  chosen 
residence — and  that  more  enlarged  civic  action  which  includes  the  collabora- 
tion with  the  agencies  of  the  churches,  schools,  libraries,  and  the  local  govern- 
ment."— Fifth  Annual  Report,  April,  1899.

framing,  kindergarten,  embroidery,  music  and  social  clubs. 

"  The  settlement  has  just  moved  into  a  new  building  of  its  own,  the  gift  of 
Mr.  S.  T.  Alexander.  It  has  a  beautiful  gymnasium,  with  showers,  lockers, 
bath  ;  a  kindergarten  room  built  especially  for  this  purpose,  with  many 
windows  and  means  for  proper  ventilation  ;  in  addition,  rooms  equipped  for 
debating  society,  cooking  class,  woman's  club,  library,  art  room,  manual  train- 
ing. We  are  not  in  a  slum  district,  as  such  a  locality  is  not  to  be  found  in  this 
city.  Our  neighbors  are  hard-working  people,  mostly  Italian  and  Irish.  The 
Italians  are  bootblacks,  scavengers,  vegetable  and  fruit  dealers  ;  the  Irish  and 
other  nationalities  are  carpenters,  painters,  railroad  men,  masons,  plasterers, 
a  few  clerks  in  grocery  and  dry  goods  stores,  while  many  of  the  women  work 
in  the  canneries." — Head  Resident.

140  North  Union  Street,  Chicago,  111.  New  building.  Grand  Avenue  and  North  Morgan 
Street.    (Previous  address,  124  West  Erie  Street.     May-October  21,  1894.) 

Opened,  May,  1894,  by  Rev.  Graham  Taylor  and  Rev.  Herman  F.  Hegner.  Independent 
and  undenominational,  but  in  cordial  affiliation  with  Chicago  Theological  (Congregational) 
Seminary. 

Rev.  Graham  Taylor,  D.D.,  resident  warden. 

Number  of  residents:  men,  7;  women,  15;  total,  22;  exclusive  of  children.  Number  of 
non-resident  workers,  about  50. 

Aside  from  the  local  activities,  the  distinctive  work  may  be  generalized  in 
the  phrase,  "  To  add  the  spiritual  function  to  the  social  environment  ;  the 
social  function  to  the  religious  movement." 

The  various  sub-committees  are  on  Interior  Life  ;  Finance  ;  Educational  ; 
Social;  Clubs,  Junior:  Boys';  Girls';  Young  Women's;  Young  Men's; 
Women's  ;  Men's  :  Kindergarten  and  Training  School  ;  Sunday  Occasions  ; 
Literature  ;  Library  and  Art  ;  Publication  and  Propaganda  ;  Local  Charity  ; 
Summer  Work. 

"  Five  years  of  faith  and  free-will  have  these  been,  of  struggle  and  patience 
and  loyal  fellowship,  in  the  uncompelled  attempt  to  live  a  normal  life  of  human 
service  in  that  part  of  the  great  city  where  we  seem  to  be  most  needed,  rather 
than  where  the  neighborhood  seems  to  offer  the  most  of  social  prestige  or  of 
privilege. 

"Several  functions  we  have  come  to  feel  that  the  settlement  performs 
more  or  less  thoroughly,  in  addition  to  its  more  subjective  aspect  as  a  place 
and  an  occasion  for  the  investment  of  personal  and  family  home-life  in  the 
service  of  the  many  and  for  the  recognition  of  indebtedness  on  the  part  of  each 
to  all  for  culture  so-called,  and  educational  privileges.  Locally,  it  affords  to 
individuals  this,  a  more  or  less  extensive  and  varied  provision  of  classes, 
lectures,  clubs,  etc.,  opportunities  to  supply  defects  in  the  more  formal 
education  which  early  necessity  of  labor  in  self  and  home  support  cuts  off,  in 
the  average  working  person's  case,  at  the  elements.  Then,  as  a  kind  of 
neighborhood  club  house,  it  gives  opportunity  and  provocation  for  acquaintance, 
sadly  needed  in  districts  like  ours,  where  deadening  isolation  from  wholesome 
contact  with  fellow-humans  is  hardly  less  common  than  in  farthest  rural 
districts. 

"  In  the  sphere  of  civic  influence,  we  feel  that  the  settlement  has  played 
a  part. 

"  Highly  as  we  may  value  our  opportunities  for  direct  influence  in  the  local 
neighborhood,  as  high  an  estimate,  if  not  higher,  must  be  placed  upon  the 
opportunities  for  reflex  influence  upon  the  communities  and  individuals 
co-operating  in  the  work,  or  even  only  hearing  of  its  point  of  view  and  general 
progress. 

"The  notable  fact  in  our  present  situation,  full  of  promise  for  the 
permanency  and  effectiveness  of  our  work,  appears  in  the  acquisition  by  the 
settlement,  for  a  term  of  ninety-nine  years  without  rental,  of  the  strategically 
located  site  of  the  old  Tabernacle  (Congregational)  church,  at  Grand  Avenue 


14  Illinois. 

and  North  Morgan  Street,  upon  which  an  adequate   and  attractive  building  is 
now  in  process  of  erection.  " — Circular,  1894 — Chicago  Commons — 1900.

80  Elm  Street,  Chicago,  111. 
Head  resident,  Mrs.  Rutherford. 

Opened  as  a  settlement,  November,  1895,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Helen  Campbell,  and

The  distinctive  work  of  the  Elm  street  settlement  is  social,  the  departments 
including  clubs  and  classes,  day  nursery,  kindergarten,  manual  training,  etc. 
The  institution  was  originally  the  industrial  school  of  the  Unity  church,  and 
was  founded  in  1876.  During  many  of  the  summer  vacations  a  day  school  was 
carried  on  to  take  the  children  off  the  streets.  It  was  under  Mrs.  Campbell's 
direction  that  the  social  and  settlement  character  was  first  given  to  the  work. 


St.  Elizabeth's  Social  Settlement. 

317  Orleans  Street,  Chicago,  111.  (Previous  addresses,  244  Orleans  Street  and  234  North 
Franklin  Street.) 

Opened,  August  23,  1893,  by  the  North  Side  Department  of  Philanthropy  of  the  Catholic 
Woman's  National  League. 

Head  resident,  Mrs.  Cleary.     (Former  head  residents,  Miss  H.  Cussins,  Miss  E.  Hanlon.) 

Number  of  workers  in  residence,  3.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  20. 

The  activities  of  this  enterprise  include  a  day  nursery,  kindergarten, 
kitchen  garden,  sewing  school,  mothers'  club,  penny  savings  bank,  circulating 
library;  also  the  dispensing  of  clothing,  shoes  and  food  to  the  needy.  It  is  the 
expectation  to  add  during  the  winter  a  boys'  club,  a  lecture  course  and  a 
sewing  club.

director. 

Number  of  residents,  4  men,  3  women  ;  total,  7.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  48. 

This  work  is  so  closely  allied  with  the  general  work  of  the  Forward  Move- 
ment in  Chicago  that  it  is  impossible  to  distinguish  the  purely  settlement 
activity.  The  latter  includes  physical,  industrial,  educational,  social  and 
spiritual  work,  and  twenty-six  sub-departments  are  actively  organized.  "  Our 
distinctive  work,"  says  Dr.  Gray,  "  is  the  spiritual  development  of  the  people 
through  their  felt  wants."

There  are  at  present  no  residents,  but  the  spirit  of  the  House  is  so  thor- 
oughly that  of  a  settlement  that  it  is  entitled  to  rank  as  such  in  the  minds  of 
some  of  the  best  settlement  workers  fully  as  much  as  some  that  claim  more. 
Its  activities  embrace  a  kindergarten,  manual  training,  sewing,  knitting  and 
dancing  classes,  gymnastics,  concerts,  women's  literary  and  social  club, 
library,  reading  and  dramatics.

Hull  House. 

^35  South  Halsted  Street,  Chicago,  111. 

Founded,  September,  1899,  by  Miss  Jane  Addams  and  Miss  Ellen  Gates  Starr. 

Head  workers.  Miss  Addams  and  Miss  Starr. 

Number  of  residents,  7  men,  18  women;  total,  25.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  75. 

Hull  House  has  evening  classes,  manual  training,  a  gymnasium,  a  coffee 
house,  social  clubs,  music  school,  children's  clubs,  the  Jane  Club,  playground, 
boys'  clubs,  dramatics,  Froebel  Association  and  kindergarten,  and  is  the  resi- 
dence of  the  probation  officers  of  the  juvenile  court  and  of  a  representative  on 
the  State  Board  of  Charities. 

Object  of  Hull  House  (as  stated  in  its  charter) :  "To  provide  a  centre  for 
a  higher  civic  and  social  life ;  to  institute  and  maintain  educational  and 
philanthropic  enterprises,  and  to  investigate  and  improve  the  conditions  in  the 
industrial  districts  of  Chicago." 

"In  its  name,  Hull  House  simply  claims  the  long-familiar  neighborhood 
title  recalling  the  time,  early  in  the  sixties,  when  it  was  the  home  of  Mr. 
Charles  J.  Hull.  One  glimpse  of  its  pillared  front,  set  well  back  from  the 
street  line  of  crowded  shops,  suggests  all  the  strangely  touching  history  through 
which  the  old  house  passed,  until  finally  it  became  a  tenement  house  and  junk 
shop,  and  with  its  neighborhood  took  on  an  air  of  discouragement  and  decay 
and  sordidness," — Alice  Miller,  in  Charities  Review,  February,  1892. 

"  Hull  House  is  neither  a  University  Settlement  nor  a  College  Settlement ; 
it  calls  itself  a  Social  Settlement,  and    attempts    to   make    social    intercourse 


16  Illinois. 

express  the  growing  sense  of  the  economic  unity  of  society.  It  is  an  attempt  to 
add  the  social  function  to  democracy." — Jane  Addams,  in  Fortim,  November, 
1892. 

No  American  settlement  has  been  the  subject  of  more  articles  and  reviews 
in  the  press  than  has  Hull  House.  A  complete  bibliography  would  fill  many 
pages  of  this  pamphlet.  (All  daily  newspaper  articles  are  here  omitted.)  See

"The  Northwestern  University  Settlement  was  the  second  settlement  estab- 
lished in  Chicago,  and  is  located  in  the  Sixteenth  Ward  in  the  northwest  side  of 
the  city.  It  is  a  ward  of  working  people,  eager  in  the  main  to  get  on  in  the 
world,  and  ready  to  co-operate  for  better  social  and  civic  conditions  in  their 
neighborhood  and  district.  The  population  is  almost  entirely  foreign,  made  up 
of  about  40,000  Poles,  15,000  Germans  and  12,000  Scandinavians,  with  a  sprink- 
ling of  other  nationalities.  There  is  a  total  population  of  about  70,000  people 
in  the  ward,  which  has  an  area  of  less  than  one  square  mile,  giving  the  Six- 
teenth Ward  the  densest  population  in  the  city.  *  *  *  The  growth  of  the 
settlement  activities  necessitates  a  suitable  building  as  a  permanent  home. 
*  *  *  Lots  for  the  purpose  have  been  selected;  enough  money  is  pledged 
to  pay  for  them,  and  work  toward  securing  the  full  amount  needed  for  building 
and  lots,  about  $40,000,  will  be  continued  during  the  present  season." — Circu-

more  effectual  if  made  in  the  atmosphere  of  genial  fellowship." — Miss  Mary 
E.  McDowell. 

Perhaps  the  spirit  of  this  settlement  can  be  summed  up  no  better  than  in  the 
Civic  Creed  written  by  the  head  resident  : 

"  God  hath  made  of  one  blood  all  nations  of  men,  and  we  are  His  children, 
brothers  and  sisters  all.  We  are  citizens  of  these  United  States,  and  we  believe 
our  flag  stands  for  self-sacrifice  for  the  good  of  all  the  people.  We  want, 
therefore,  to  be  good  citizens  of  our  great  city,  and  will  show  our  love  for  her 
by  our  works. 

"Chicago  does  not  ask  us  to  die  for  her  welfare  ;  she  asks  us  to  live  for 
her,  and  so  to  live  and  so  to  act  that  her  government  may  be  pure,  her  officers 
honest,  and  every  corner  of  her  territory  a  place  fit  to  grow  the  best  men  and 
women,  who  shall  rule  over  her." 

The  account  of  the  settlement  found  in  the  President's  Report  of  the 
University  of  Chicago,  July,  1899,  pp.  208-216,  is  the  authorized  report.

Mr.  Williams  writes:  "So  far  there  are  only  tentative  efforts.  We  have 
a  reading-room,  games  and  occasional  social  gatherings.  This  work  is 
among  colored  people  (negroes)  entirely,  and  is  being  conducted  by  colored 
people.  The  committee  in  charge  is  composed  entirely  of  colored  persons,  and 
the  workers  are  all  colored.  The  aim  will  be  to  develop  colored  residents  also. 
To  this  end  the  Charity  Organization  will  assist  by  giving  a  suitable  person 
some  special  training.  At  present  we  have  arranged  to  have  twelve  ladies  take 
the  work  for  two  weeks  each.     We  hope  to  develop  a  regular  resident  worker."

"  The  growth  of  the  work  has  been  internal  rather  than  external.  With 
only  the  same  number  of  rooms  and  about  the  same  equipment  at  its  disposal, 
the  house  is  reaching  a  constantly  increasing  number  of  people,  and  in  a  con- 
stantly deeper  and  better  relation." 

"  In  April,  Mr.  A.  A.  Hill,  the  founder,  was  called  to  a  similar  position  in 
New  York.  At  first  it  seemed  inevitable  that  this  loss  would  mean  the  closing 
of  Neighborhood  House.  The  very  loss  and  threatened  danger  proved  so 
stimulating  that,  within  a  month,  it  was  made  possible  to  continue  the  house 
another  year." — Report,  1900.

Its  distinctive  work  is  neighborhood  sociability. 

"  This  program  of  the  organized  work  of  the  settlement  is  the  framework 
around  which  the  more  vital  parts  are  built  up.  These  consist  of  intimate 
personal  relations  of  friend  to  friend,  and  cannot  be  published  in  any  report. 
The  settlement  has  developed  almost  unconsciously  as  many  departments  of 
activity  as  a  large  institution  ;  a  department  of  industrial  and  domestic  art,  a 
department  of  college  extension,  a  department  of  children's  clubs,  etc.  Created, 
they  must  be  well  organized  and  directed,  that  the  people  profiting  by  them 
may  receive  the  best  which  modern  educational  science  on  all  these  different 
lines  can  offer." — Tenth  Anitiial  Report  of  C.S.A. 

The  settlement  has  taken  much  interest  in  the  labor  movement,  and  has

been  delegates  to  the  Central  Labor  Union,  and  matters  of  importance  to  the 
working  people  have  been  helpfully  discussed  at  the  economic  meetings  in  the 
settlement,  at  which  representatives  of  various  classes  have  met  on  a  neutral 
ground  and  discussed  these  questions  from  many  points  of  view.  Educational 
classes,  etc.,  have  been  carried  on  in  the  usual  ways  with  good  success.

Lincoln  House  claims  that  it  is  no  longer  a  settlement  because  it  has  no 
resident  workers,  but  its  spirit  is  so  essentially  that  of  a  true  settlement  and 
its  work  so  helpful  to  many  other  settlements  that  it  is  included  in  this  bibliog- 
raphy. Handicraft  classes  are  the  distinguishing  feature  of  the  work.  There 
are  eighteen  distinct  courses,  representing  an  ascending  scale  of  creative  work

"  The  work  of  the  House  has  its  best  meaning  therefore  in  being  social,  in 
the  strict  sense  of  the  word,  rather  than  either  charitable  or  educational." — Sixth 
Yearly  Report,  January,  1898. 

"  The  policy  of  the  settlement  has  been  to  scatter  its  points  of  attack. 
There  are  now  three  of  these  :  the  first  the  residence  at  No.  6  Rollins  Street, 
where  there  is  a  lending  library,  a  circulating  collection  of  pictures,  and  a 
savings  bank,  besides  large  and  beautiful  rooms  for  social  gatherings,  offices 
for  the  head  of  the  House  and  the  Secretary,  a  room  equipped  with  a  socio- 
logical library,  maps,  etc.,  for  use  in  connection  with  the  work  of  investiga- 
tion, and  living  quarters  for  six  residents  ;  the  second,  a  remodeled  tenement 
house  at  611  Harrison  Avenue,  where  there  is  a  free  reading-room  for  men,  a 
kindergarten  room  which  is  also  used  for  a  club  room,  and  a  workshop  for 
manual  training  ;  and  the  third,  Marenholz  House,  at  No.  2  James  Street, 
Franklin  Square,  a  residence  for  kindergartners  who  assume  charge  of  the 
work  among  the  younger  children." — Seventh    Yearly  Report,   February,   1899. 

"  Four  new  residents  have  been  added  to  the  permanent  settlement  staff. 
Two  of  these  are  women,  who  live  in  the  Women's  Residence  at  43  East 
Canton  Street. 

"  The  Club  Building,  at  611  Harrison  Avenue,  is  now  used  practically  to 
its  full  capacity.  Partly  on  this  account,  partly  from  a  desire  to  penetrate 
more  deeply  into  the  recesses  of  the  local  life,  a  number  of  small  centres  have 
been  scattered  throughout  the  neighborhood— five  home  libraries,  two  stamp 
savings  stations,  a  boys'  club  and  two  small  playgrounds."— i5'^>//^/^  Annual

*The  Prospect  Union. 

744  Massachusetts  Avenue,  Cambridge,  Mass. 

Founded  in  January,  1891,  by  Rev.  Robert  E.  Ely,  Professor  Francis  G.  Peabody,  of  Har- 
vard University,  and  a  small  group  of  Harvard  students  and  workingmen,  with"  a  view  of  joining 
hands  in  mutual  helpfulness  and  co-operation.     Mr.  Ely  is  head  worker. 


26  Michigan — Minnesota. 

"  The  promotion  of  brotherliness,  especially  between  Harvard  students  and 
professors  and  the  workingmen  of  Cambridge  and  elsewhere,"  is  and  has  been 
from  the  beginning  the  aim  of  the  Prospect  Union.  It  combines  features  of 
social  settlement  and  university  extension  work,  and  the  four  men  residents 
upon  the  field  clearly  entitle  it  to  status  as  a  settlement.  It  differs  from  most 
settlements  in  being  far  more  a  men's  and  far  less  a  children's  work.  Classes 
in  elementary  and  advanced  branches,  lectures,  concerts,  entertainments,  art 
exhibitions,  smoke-talks,  all  combine  to  the  main  end  of  the  encouragement 
and  cultivation  of  natural,  self-respecting,  personal  contact  between  men  of 
different  classes,  nationalities,  temperaments  and  conditions  in  life. 

The  building  owned  and  occupied  by  the  Union  is  the  former  city  hall  of 
Cambridge.  The  most  conspicuous  outgrowth  of  the  Union's  work  is  the 
American  Co-operative  Union,  devoted  to  the  encouragement  of  co-operation 
upon  the  Rochdale  plan.  A  co-operative  printing  and  a  distributive  society 
centre  at  the  Union,  and  there  also  is  published  the  American  Co-operative 
News,  the  organ  of  the  Co-operative  Union.

Opened,  December  4,  1896,  by  Mrs.  Maud  Reid  Paige.  A  private  enterprise.  Miss  Laura 
M.  Peckham,  head  resident. 

Social  purity  is  the  distinctive  work  of  this  settlement,  the  first  in  Detroit. 
It  is  avowedly  Christian,  and  is  in  many  senses  a  mission,  being  quite  as  well 
known  under  the  name  of  the  "  Berean  Mission,"  and  in  close  alliance  with  the 
institution  of  that  name  which  is  next  door.  A  Sunday  kindergarten  is  carried 
on,  and  there  is  a  cottage  dispensary  in  addition  to  the  usual  club  and  class 
work.     Emphasis  is  placed  upon  the  problems  of  home-making.

"  The  present  workers  are  all  people  who  follow  their  chosen  profession 
and  do  v>?hat  they  can  for  settlement  work.  .  .  .  The  location  of  the  settle- 
ment is  in  the  midst  of  a  large  factory  district  made  up  of  every  nationality. 
.  .  .  As  our  acquaintance  has  widened,  the  greater  have  we  realized  the 
value  and  need  of  real  social  work." — Report  for  iSgj-f.

"  There  is  nothing  at  all  of  a  charitable  nature  in  the  work.  It  is  simply 
educational,  and  aims  to  give  a  chance  for  the  best  that  is  in  anyone  to  become 
fully  developed.  The  only  purpose  of  the  whole  thing  is  to  keep  people  to_  a 
higher  plane  of  thought  and  life." — St.  Louis  Republic,  February  7,  1900 — Social

*  St.  Stephen's    House. 

6th  and  Rutger  Streets,  St.  Louis,  Mo. 

Founded  as  a  Protestant  Episcopal  mission  about  1886,  developed  upon  more  social  lines 
after  1891.     Now  to  be  classed  as  practically  a  settlement.     Rev.  Gustavus  Tuckerman  in  charge. 

"An  exact  description  of  our  work  is  hardly  possible,"  wrote  Mr. 
Tuckerman  to  the  editor  of  the  Bibliography,  October  13,  1897,  "owing  to  the 
transition  through  which  this  work  is  passing.  Our  efforts  are  directed  toward 
adding  to  the  original  characteristics  of  the  work  as  many  as  possible  of  the 
features  pertaining  to  a  social  settlement,  including  much  that  up  to  the  present 
time  has  been  out  of  the  question.  Our  distinctive  work  may  be  said  to  be  the 
Christianizing  of  the  people  among  whom  the  work  is  placed.  In  a  word,  my 
conception  of  the  work  is  that  of  a  social  settlement  on  distinctively  Christian 
lines,  an  attempt  to  realize  the  prayer,  'Thy  Kingdom  come,'  toward  the 
attainment  of  which  realization  the  bath,  kitchen,  gymnasium,  etc.,  are  as 
necessary  and  as  integral  factors  as  the  services  of  the  Church."  A  new  and 
thoroughly  equipped  building  will  supplant  the  three  old  shops  that  have  been 
used  for  the  work.

"  Lincoln  seems  perhaps  scarcely  large  enough  for  a  real  settlement,  being 
a  city  of  only  55,000.  We  are  settled  iii  a  community  of  some  600  Germans 
from  Russia.  This  is  purely  a  student  undertaking.  Students  help  with  their 
presence  at  all  our  gatherings,  and  offer  ttieir  services  for  instruction.  Our 
more  hopeful  work  is  the  industrial." — Head  IVorker.

NEW  JERSEY 

ORANGE  VALLEY 

Orange  Valley  Social  Institute. 

35  Tompkins  Street,  Orange  Valley,  N.  J. 

Opened,  April  I,  1897,  under  the  auspices  of  a  committee  of  citizens  of  Orange,  N.  J.,  now 
governed  by  a  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Settlement  Association. 

Head  resident,  Chas.  H.  Warner.     (Former  head  resident,  Bryant  Venable.) 
Number  of  residents,  i  man,  2  women  ;  total,  3.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  30. 

There  is  a  physical  culture  class,  a  kindergarten,  boys'  and  young  men's 
clubs,  cooking  classes,  library,  penny  provident  savings  bank,  mothers'  meet- 
ing, dancing  and  bowling. 

"  Orange  Valley  includes  the  manufacturing  district  of  the  Oranges.  In 
it  are  about  ten  large  hat  and  box  factories,  around  which  are  gathered  a  dense 
population  of  operatives.  The  crowded  condition  of  the  homes  and  the  small 
incomes  of  the  workers  make  it  impossible  for  these  people  to  provide  for 
themselves  the  recreative  and  social  surroundings  that  are  both  pleasant  and 
profitable.  At  present,  the  saloon  has  alone  taken  advantage  of  the  situation, 
and  as  a  result  there  is  much  intemperance  and  consequent  poverty  of  home 
comforts.  To  ameliorate  such  conditions  the  settlement  v/as  established.  Its 
work  is  planned  on  the  general  line  of  college  settlements  ;  it  is  persotial,  not 
institutional ;  religious,  but  not  denominational.  Differing  from  most  other 
settlements,  it  is  unique  in  being  located  in  a  rural  community,  yet  having  the 
perplexing  problems  of  city  settlements." — Head  IVoi-ker.

JERSEY  CITY 

Whittier  House. 

174  Grand  Street,  Jersey  City,  N.  J. 

Opened,  in  the  People's  Palace,  December  20,  1893  ;  removed  to  present  address  May  14, 
1894  ;  incorporated  ;  a  Board  of  Directors  representing  various  parts  of  the  State,  composed  of 
both  men  and  women,  while  the  Auxiliary  is  made  up  of  women  who  live  in  Jersey  City. 

Head  worker,  Cornelia  F.  Bradford. 

Number  of  residents,  3  men,  4  women  ;  total,  7.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  70. 

"The  distinctive  work  of  this  settlement  is  co-operation  with  State  and 
municipal  authorities.  It  has  manual  training,  a  kindergarten,  classes  in  art, 
cooking,  dressmaking,  millinery,  a  boys'  association,  and  social,  education 
and  musical  departments.  The  Organized  Aid  Society  of  Jersey  City,  the 
Jersey  State  Legal  Society  and  the  State  Consumers'  League  all  hold  their 
meetings  here,  and  some  of  the  residents  are  represented  on  every  one  of 
these  boards.  Indeed,  whatever  is  going  on  in  the  city  to  uplift  humanity, 
whether  it   be   carried   on    by   the   Salvation  Army,   by  the   Street   Cleaning

Department,  or  by  any  other  one  of  the  municipal  departments,  Whittier  House 
is  quite  sure  to  be  called  upon  or  to  be  represented  in  some  way.  A  Christian 
Endeavor  Society  of  a  neighboring  church  has  asked  to  hold  a  meeting  here 
for  the  present  until  some  other  rooms  can  be  secured.  We  are  regardless  of 
creeds  and  entirely  undenominational." 

"  Because  no  American  has  done  more  than  Whittier  to  inspire  Americans 
with  a  desire  to  serve  their  fellow  men,  the  name,  which  we  think  all  will 
recognize  as  most  happy,  has  been  selected.  The  motto  of  the  House  is  the 
poet's  noble  words  : 

'  He  serves  Thee  best  who  loveth  most 
His  brothers  and  Thy  own.' — Report. 

"  Whittier's  House  is  a  social  settlement,  situated  in  the  midst  of  a  densely 
populated  district.  It  aims  to  help  all  in  need  by  improving  their  circum- 
stances, by  inspiring  them  with  new  motives  and  higher  ideals,  and  by  making 
them  better  fitted  by  the  responsibilities  and  privileges  of  life.  It  is  Christian, 
but  not  denominational,  and  will  co-operate  with  all  who  are  seeking  to  ameli- 
orate the  human  condition  and  improve  the  social  order."

under  the  same  roof  with  some  sixty  families.  These  represent  every  grade  of 
working  people,  from  those  who  have  pianos  and  call  their  flats  '  apartments,'

Distinctive  work:  "The  usual  work  of  a  Christian  Church  conducted  in 
a  social  spirit  and  on  social  lines." — Head  Resident. 

Our  Ideals  :  The  principles  on  which  our  work  is  based  may  be  stated  as 
follows: 

1.  The  Field.  The  ward  or  parish  ;  the  city  ;  the  nation;  the  world.  To 
cultivate  an  intelligent  interest  in  all  of  these,  founded  on  an  accurate  knowl- 
edge. While  cultivating  a  broad  sympathy,  world-wide  in  extent,  to  make  the 
ward  or  parish  the  subject  of  immediate  and  thorough  investigation,  not  only 
on  its  religious  side,  but  in  all  its  aspects,  industrial  and  social  as  well. 

2.  Co-operation.  To  cultivate  the  spirit  of  brotherly  co-operation  with  all 
"  men  of  good-will,"  of  every  creed,  nationality  and  political  affiliation, 
in  temperance,  municipal  reform,  and  every  other  good  work,  along  such  lines 
as  are  practical  without  compromise  of  any  principle  on  either  part.  To  do  all 
work  in  conjunction  with  others  wherever  possible,  and  hence  to  foster  all 
union  societies. 

3.  Tke  Training  atid  Maintenance  of  Workers.  To  gradually  gather 
together  a  large  force  of  volunteer  workers,  viz. :  Lay  brothers  and  deaconesses, 
willing  to  give  themselves  to  the  service  of  others,  without  compensation  further 
than  the  assurance  of  food,  clothing  and  shelter,  but  without  permanent  vo-ws. 

The  cultivation  of  the  communal  life  in  this  way,  and  the  illustration  in  our 
time  of  its  beauty  and  its  power. 

_  The  building  up  of  this  ideal  through   the  settlement  plan,    both   rural   and 
civic,  and  by  semi-annual  and  other  conferences. 

4.  The  Union  of  the  Religious  and  Industrial  Forces  in  the  Salvation  of 
Mankind.  To  this  end  to  heal  the  breach  now  existing.  Hence  we  have  started 
the  Christian  Workingmen's  Institute,  for  lectures,  conferences  and  debates. 


32  New  York. 

5.  The  Education  of  the  People,  and  especially  the  JVorhers,  in  Correct  Social 
and  Religious  Prittciples.  To  this  end  the  moral  instruction  from  pulpit  and 
platform,  the  schools,  the  kindergartens  and  tract  distribution.

The  Fifth  Avenue  Baptist  Church  for  years  supported  Armitage  House, 
343  West  47th  Street,  which  was  really  a  mission.  In  May,  1899,  Mr.  Hill 
undertook  to  found  for  them,  in  a  little  different  neighborhood,  a  settlement. 
At  present  the  only  work  that  is  done  is  in  a  huge  tenement,  where  only  a  few 
people  live.     There  is  a  kindergarten  and  clubs  and  classes.

"Calvary  House  serves  the  double  purpose  of  (i)  a  home  for  the  wt>rking 
staff  of  Calvary  Parish,  and  (2)  a  settlement." 

"  At  present  four  of  the  clergy  live  in  the  house,  but  their  time  is  too  fully 
occupied  to  do  any  work  there.  Of  the  three  resident  workers,  two  give  about 
half  their  time  to  work  in  the  parish.  The  third  resident  is  the  kindergarten 
teacher."

*  Church  Settlement  House. 

329  East  84th  Street,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

Opened,  May  3, 1894,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  of  the  Redeemer, 
Rev.  W.  E.  Johnson,  rector.  (Formerly  at  520  E.  83d  Street,  later  at  1556  Avenue  A;  removed 
to  present  address,  1897.) 

The  distinctive  work  of  the  settlement  cannot  better  be  described  than  in  the 
words  from  a  former  circular  :  "  This  is  not  a  work  among  the  poor,  but  among 
the  most  neglected  classes,  from  a  religious  standpoint,  in  the  city.  It  is  to 
carry  the  gospel  where  the  pulpit  does  not  carry  it — into  the  homes  of  the  inde- 
pendent workingmen.  To  reach  them  the  home  life  must  be  made  more  real, 
and  we  believe  that  the  best  way  to  do  it  is  by  directly  touching  the  home,  and 
carefully  training  the  young  to  know  what  a  home  may  be."

group  of  interested  persons.  College  Settlements  Association  organized  to  support  this  and 
other  settlements. 

Head  worker.  Miss  Elizabeth  S.  Williams.  (Former  head  workers.  Miss  Jean  G.  Fine, 
Miss  Fannie  W.  McLean,   Dr.  Jane  E.   Robbins,  Miss  Mary   M.   Kingsbury.) 

Average  number  of  residents,  12  women.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  47  women,  8  men. 

Distinctive  work  :  "Intimate  acquaintance  with  the  life  of  the  neighbor- 
hood, and  friendly  feeling  established  between  all  persons  connected  with  the 
house." — Head  Resident. 

"  When  the  settlement  was  first  opened  there  were  many  Germans  in  the 
neighborhood,  and  they  continue  to  come  to  the  house,  althoagh  they  have 
gradually  moved  to  the  north,  yielding  their  place  to  the  Russian  ana  Polish 
Jews,  who  now  constitute  almost  the  entire  population  of  this  section.  The 
region  is  practically  a  foreign  town,  and  a  very  picturesque  one.  .  .  .  Those 
living  in  this' neighborhood  can  enter  into  the  life  of  the  dist''ict  and  work  for 
its  good  in  a  thousand  different  ways.  The  kindergarten  takes  in  fifty  mites 
who  are  crowded  out  of  the  public  schools  and  trains  their  clumsy  little  fingers 
and  slow-working  minds.  .  .  .  The  settlement  and  its  overflow,  a  small 
house  across  the  street,  might  well  be  sty  ed  he  Club  House  of  the  neighbor- 
hood. There  are  three  or  four  clubs  meeting  each  afternoon  and  evening,  and 
they   represent   wonderfully   diversified   interests.      The     systematic     sewing 


34  New  York. 

classes  in  two  or  three  years  train  the  girls  thoroughly  in  all  forms  of  sewing. 
There  are  classes  in  grammar,  Shakespeare,  reading,  and  city  history  study, 
and  a  room  fully  equipped  for  cooking  enables  us  to  have  several 
thoroughly  organized  classes  in  that  art.  For  those  that  want  less  practical 
occupation  there  are  debating  and  literary  societies,  drawing,  music  and 
gymnasium  classes,  relieved  by  occasional  dances  and  entertainments  to  which 
friends  are  invited.  Three  times  in  the  week  the  library  is  open  for  the  taking 
out  of  books,  and  the  parlors  are  used  for  reading  and  games.  .  .  .  The 
little  children  crowd  in  every  evening  for  a  time  to  deposit  their  savings  in  the 
penny  provident  bank,  and  though  the  money  is  drawn  out  again  soon,  it  is 
usually  to  buy  clothes  or  shoes,  or  even  to  help  the  parents  in  time  of  special 
trouble.  The  back  yard  is  fitted  up  with  swings  and  sand  piles.  .  .  .  There 
is  distinct  musical  talent  among  these  children  and  the  music  school  is  flourish- 
ing. There  are  over  lOO  pupils.  ...  A  summer  house,  built  for  us  some 
forty  miles  back  in  the  hill  country,  enables  us  to  give  about  240  children  and 
young  people  a  two-weeks'  country  visit,  for  which  they  pay  a  very  small  sum. 
A  wholly  different  work  of  the  resident  is  that  in  which  she  stands  as 
representative  of  the  district,  and  works  for  its  advance  in  municipal  and  other 
ways.  Her  more  thorough  training  and  knowledge  of  other  conditions  enables 
her  to  accomplish  things  that  those  who  know  only  the  neighborhood  life  might 
fail  to  do,  and  she  often  has  a  wider  knowledge  than  have  those  about  her  of 
available  means  of  assistance.  Our  residents  have  taken  an  active  part  in  all 
movements  of  reform,  work  on  all  the  local  committees,  and  co-operate  with 
the  different  philanthropic  and  reform  committees  and  with  the  labor  unions. 

"  The  house  stands  for  work  with  the  neighborhood,  and  derives  such  success 
and  usefulness  as  it  can  claim  from  the  warm  welcome  and  co-operation  of  the 
neighbors,  without  which  it  could  not  be  a  settlement.  " — Famplilet,  Fall,   i8g8.

"The  people  in  the  neighborhood  of  Cooper  Settlement  are  industrious 
and  self-respecting.  They  have  little  if  any  skill  because  the  work  in  the 
factories  employing  them  is  so  highly  specialized  as  to  need  little  if  any — men

and  women,  boys  and  girls,  all  work  at  some  form  of  factory  work.  The  honies 
are  neglected,  housekeeping  is  at  such  a  discount  that  women  in  whose  families 
are  a  sufficient  number  of  bread-winners  without  their  own  efforts  in  the  same 
line,  prefer  factory  work  or  shopkeeping  to  housekeeping.  The  distinctive 
interest  of  our  work  lies  in  the  study  of  the  conditions  of  the  average  working 
man. " — Head  Worker.

"  All  minor  distinctions  dwindle  before  the  thought  of  the  spiritual  equality 
in  which  we  live," — C.  H.  Brent. 

"  A  settl'^ment  is  a  natural  growth,  and  not  S  multiplicity  of  activities.. 
The  most  important  work  we  have  before  us  is  not  the  formation  of  new  clubs, 
but  the  establishment  of  cordial  personal  relations.  All  settlement  work  has  a 
twofold  nature.  A  settlement  must  know  both  the  neighbors  and  the 
neighborhood.  The  former  implies  a  close  personal  relationship,  whether 
established  through  clubs  or  by  an  interchange  of  visits,  or  by  any  means 
whatsoever  ;  the  latter  means  the  intelligent  understanding  of  all  the  conditions 
under  which  the  neighbors  live.  A  settlement  must  neglect  no  opportunity  to 
work  for  the  industrial,  social  and  civic  betterment  of  the  neighborhood.  A 
settlement  must  find  its  being  in  friendship,  and  its  activity  in  social  politics. 
It  is  thus  at  once  a  personal  and  a  civic  function  that  the  settlement  must 
perform." — Seventh  Annual  Report,  January,   1899.

midst  of  this  East  Side  .world  I  might  sow  some  seed  that  would  save  poor 
homeless  children.  I  rented  two  rooms  in  a  crowded  tenement  on  Eldridge 
Street.  It  was  indeed  but  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  but  it  has  become  a  '  tree' 
in  the  form  of  an  old-fashioned  house,  so  that  the  street  children  come  and

Church,  by  Re%'.  W.  R.  Huntington,  D.D.,  rector.    Rev.  George  H.  Bottome  is  vicar. 

The  presence  of  fifteen  active  residents,  eight  men  and  seven  women,  all 
engaged  in  the  most  earnest  social  and  humanitarian  work,  upon  avowedly 
Christian  principles,  gives  this  institution  undisputed  settlement  standing. 
A  newly  erected  parish  building,  with  all  conveniences,  containing  a  beautiful 
chapel,  and  quarters  for  the  many  activities  of  the  settlement,  gives  a  basis  for 
the  work,  which  Mr.  Bottome  outlines  as  (i)  worship,  (2)  religious  instruction 
for  the  young,  (3)  missions,  (4)  industrial  education,  (5)  industrial  employment, 
(6)  care  of  sick  and  needy,  (7)  care  of  little  children,  (8)  visitation  of  neighbor- 
hood, (9)  visitation  of  prisons,  (10)  promotion  of  temperance,  (11)  fresh  air 
work,  (12)  library  and  reading  room,  (13)  parish  societies.  "Our  distinctive 
work  may  be  described  as  the  union  of  definite  parochial  organization  with 
unrestricted  settlement  work."

Founded,  1890,  by  Charles  James  Wills,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Brotherhood  of  St.  Andrew. 
Head  resident,  Rev.  Robert  Lewis  Paddock.     (Former  head  residents,  Charles  James  Wills 
and  Rev.  H.  R.  Hulso.) 

Number  of  residents :  4  men,  4  women  ;  total,  8.   Number  of  non-resident  workers,  about  100. 

The  activities  of  this  settlement  are  a  Sunday-school,  kindergarten,  day 
nursery,  kitchen  garden,  sewing  school,  mothers'  meetings,  Helping  Hand, 
Girls'  Friendly,  cooking  classes,  boys'  and  girls'  clubs,  gymnasium,  library, 
baths,  men's  clubs,  lectures,  concerts  and  entertainments. 

"The  Procathedral  and  Church  Settlement  is  at  130  Stanton  Street,  on  the 
lower  East  Side,  about  a  third  of  a  mile  east  of  the  Bowery  and  just  below 
First  Street.  It  is  in  the  most  crowded  district  in  the  world.  In  the  one  block 
opposite  us  there  are  almost  three  thousand  souls.  I  estimate  that  within  a 
radius  of  one  hundred  yards  of  my  study  there  are  ten  thousand  people,  and 
that  tens  of  thousands  in  our  district  are  in  great  measure  dependent  on  us  if 
they  receive  any  Christian  teaching  at  all. 

"  We  (a  small  band  of  clergy,  deaconesses,  laymen  and  lay  women)  are  living 
in  a  neighborly  way  amongst  the  people  in  a  tenement  house  near  the  church." —

Riverside  Association  House. 

259  and  261  West  69th  Street,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

Opened,  January,  1892,  at  50  West  End  Avenue  ;  removed  to  present  address.  October,  1893. 

An  incorporated  body  of  residents  of  New  York  associated  for  the  purpose  of  assisting  the 
poor  to  better  conditions.  Organized  in  the  winter  of  1892  merely  as  a  club  for  boys  and  girls, 
but  largely  developed  since. 

Head  worker,  John  F.  Harrold. 

This  settlement  has  a  kindergarten,  a  working  girls'  club,  classes  in 
English,  literature,  history  of  New  York,  stenography  and  typewriting,  arith- 
metic and  spelling,  in  cooking,  gymnastics,  dressmaking,  piano,  boys'  club, 
a  library,  penny  provident  fund,  and  public  baths,  furnishing  8,302  baths  in 
1898,  an  increase  of  nearly  300  per  cent,  since  opening  in  1895. 

"  The  Association  maintains  the  only  settlement  house  in  the  19th  Assembly 
District,  in  which  District,  according  to  the  report  of  the  Federation  of 
Churches,  there  is  a  tenement-house  population  of  19,717  persons,  comprising

St.  Rose's  Settlement. 

^64  East  69th  Street,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

Founded,  October  i,  1898,  by  Rev.  Clement  M.  Thuente,  O.  P.,  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Dominican  Fathers  (Order  of  Friar  Preachers). 

Head  resident.  Miss  Marion  F.  Gurney. 

Number  of  residents,  4  women,  also  3  men,  living  among  the  people  in  "model  tene- 
ments ";  total,  7. 

The  settlement  has  a  free  circulating  library,  social  clubs,  industrial  class, 
music,  instruction  in  Christian  doctrine  and  night  schools  for  foreigners. 

The  object  of  the  settlement  is  (l)  "  to  improve  the  social,  intellectual  and 
religious  condition  of  the  poor  by  organizing  and  directing  the  energies  of 
Catholics  of  leisure  in  their  service,  thus  promoting  fellowship  between 
Catholics  of  different  social  grades  ;  (2)  to  counteract  by  personal  influence 
and  by  the  diffusion  of  sound  Catholic  teaching  the  irreligious  influence  of  a 
secularized  school  system,  a  misguided  philanthropy  and  an  anti-Catholic 
propaganda." —  Year-Book  of  St.  Rose's  Settlemetit. 

"What  we  are  aiming  at,  broadly  and  generally,  is  to  re-establish  the 
common  Christian  brotherhood  that  united  all  classes  together  in  the  olden 
time.     We  desire  to  see  a  vigorous  apostolate  by  the  well-to-do  and  educated

classes  at  work  among  their  humbler  brethren.  This  alone  will  break  down 
the  wall  of  separation  built  up  during  the  last  three  centuries  between  the  rich 
and  the  poor.  It  is  chiefly  for  the  more  favored  classes  to  bridge  over  or  to  fill 
up  the  chasm  that  has  divided  the  nation  into  two  peoples  and  produced  that 
growth  of  social  and  religious  evil  which  is  a  menace  to  the  whole  fabric  of 
society." — Lenten  Pastoral  Letter  o/ Cardinal  Vaughan.

202  East  g6th  Street.) 

Opened,  May  26.  1895,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Union  Settlement  Association,  organized 
by  alumni  and  friends  of  Union  Theological  Seminary. 

Head  worker,  William  E.  McCord. 

Number  of  residents,  5  men,  5  women  ;  total,  10.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  140. 

Among  its  activities  the  settlement  numbers  a  kindergarten,  library, 
penny  provident  bank,  cooking  classes,  clubs  for  boys  and  girls,  clubs  athletic 
and  literary,  social  gatherings,  lectures,  Sunday-school,  religious  services, 
civic  work,  and,  most  important  and  distinctive,  the  workingmen's  club. 

The  settlement  houses,  235-243  East  104th  Street,  are  near  the  centre  of  a 
district  of  fifty  blocks,  between  96th  and  iioth  Streets,  east  of  Lexington 
Avenue,  containing  100,000  people,  largely  English-speaking,  living  mainly  in 
crowded  tenement  houses.  In  this  district  are  two  small  libraries  (  a  branch 
of  the  Aguilar  at  iioth  Street  and  that  of  the  settlement),  no  places  of 
wholesome  amusement,  three  small,  overcrowded  public  schools,  no  church 
buildings,  and  only  three  small  places  of  worship. 

Four  small  rooms  in  a  tenement  house  were  the  first  home  of  the  settle- 
ment. Since  then  additional  rooms  have  been  rented  as  the  work  grew,  until 
buildings  or  parts  of  buildings  at  four  different  points  were  in  use,  besides  the 
playground.  Recently  five  houses,  235  to  243  East  104th  Street,  have  been 
secured,  and  are  being  made  into  beautiful  quarters  for  the  settlement.  The 
top  floors  of  the  houses  will  be  used  as  the  settlement  residence.  The  second 
floors  are  devoted  to  the  young  women's  clubs,  literary  clubs,  library  and 
settlement  office.  The  parlor  floors  furnish  the  settlement  reception  room, 
parlors,  dining-room,  kindergarten  hall,  and  large  assembly  room,  while  the 
basements  are  occupied  by  boys'  clubs,  penny  provident  bank,  cooking  classes 
and  the  workingmen's  club.  The  five  back  yards  will  be  connected,  thus 
forming  a  park  of  50  x  85  feet. — Circular  Number  XJ^I.,  December,  1899.

Opened,  in  1887,  as  a  Neighborhood  Guild,  by  Dr.  Stanton  Coit ;  transferred  to  the  Univer- 
sity Settlement  Society  in  1891,  and  begun  as  a  settlement  in  1893. 

Head  resident,  Mr.  James  B.  Reynolds.  (Former  head  residents,  Mr.  Chas.  B.  Stone, 
Mr.  Jno.  McGoodaleand  Mr.  Stanton  Coit.) 

Number  of  residents,  8-10,  usually  men.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  50. 

"The  distinctive  work  of  this  settlement  is  social  fellowship  and  social 
co-operation.  It  has  a  kindergarten,  an  athletic  department,  including  gymna- 
sium, social  clubs,  musical  department,  legal  aid  bureau,  model  pawn  shop, 
library,  social  investigations.  Tenants,  including  labor  organizations,  musical 
societies  and  outside  organizations,  make  regular  use  of  the  house." 

"The  University  Settlement  entered  its  new  building  January  i,  1899. 
The    building   occupies    a   corner   lot,  containing  67  X  80  feet.       We  own  the

building  and  lot  entirely  free  of  debt.  Since  entering  the  building  our  work 
naturally  expanded  in  every  direction.  The  number  of  residents  has  doubled. 
Our  work  of  investigation  has  strengthened  through  the  establishment  of 
a  branch  of  the  Legal  Aid  Society  and  a  branch  of  the  Provident  Loan  Society 
in  our  building,  and  we  have  immensely  increased  our  usefulness  in  the  neigh- 
borhood. We  have  also  been  able  to  express  in  a  practical  form  our  interest  in 
the  labor  organizations.  At  present  the  central  labor  unions  of  the  city, 
three  unions  of  men  and  one  of  women,  meet  in  our  building.  All  are  tenants, 
and  the  arrangement  is  a  business  one.  Our  interest  in  municipal  reform  has 
been  continued,  and  we  have  also  been  able  to  co-operate  with  the  State 
Factory  Inspectors'  Department.  Our  greatest  difficulty  is  in  securing  men 
who  can  meet  the  grand  opportunities  which  are  open  to  us." — Head  Resident.

strongly  emphasized,  as  one  of  the  permanent  residents  is  a  deaconess  in  the 
Episcopal  church.  There  is,  however,  no  effort  to  proselyte,  and  members  of 
the  various  clubs  represent  every  denomination  in  the  neighborhood.  There 
is  also  a  library  and  various  industrial  features. 

"One  of  the  first  rural  settlements  is  this  one,  established  in  a  mountain 
region  settled  by  the  sturdy  descendants  of  Scotch-Irish  and  English  settlers. 
It  is  only  within  recent  years  that  a  railroad  has  found  its  way  to  this  region 
of  ignorance  and  isolation.  Three  miles  from  Asheville  a  simple,  attractive 
log  cabin  has  been  built  near  a  district  school  and  a  small  mission  chapel,  to 
both  of  which  the  residents  give  their  aid  and  co-operation." — From  report  of 
head  uwrker,  SusAN  GuiON  Chester.

*  Cincinnati  Social  Settlement. 

300  Broadway,  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

Opened  at  88  East  3d  Street,  January  i,  1895,  by  Dr.  Philip  W.  Ayres,  then  secretary  of 
the  Charity  Organization  Society,  and  under  the  auspices  of  the  College  Club  of  Cincinnati. 
Miss  Jessie  S.  Tuckerman  is  head  resident. 

Social,  educational  and  industrial  v/ork  is  in  progress.  The  first  club 
organized  was  a  club  for  the  blind.  A  local  conference  of  charity  workers 
meets  occasionally  at  the  settlement. 

"The  settlement  is  at  300  Broadway,  in  a  closely  built  block,  and  in  the 
midst  of  a  dense  tenement  house  population.  It  avows  as  its  purpose  '  to  be 
the  club  house  of  the  poor,  a  centre  for  their  social  life.'  Three  of  the  workers 
are  supported  by  university  scholarships."

Society  for  Neighborhood  Clubs. 

Founded,  October,  1899,  by  the  Jewish  Charities  Organization  of  Cincinnati.  President  of 
the  Society,  Miss  Helen  Winkler. 

Number  of  residents,  none  at  present,  but  arrangements  are  being  made  to  have  a  head 
worker.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  40. 

The  activities  of  this  work  are  a  kindergarten,  a  boys'  gymnasium, 
circulating  library  and  reading-rooms,  clubs  for  working  girls  and  boys, 
children's  classes  in  calisthenics  and  nature  study,  and  children's  Bible  classes. 

"This  is,  strictly  speaking,  not  a  settlement.  It  is,  however,  working  on 
settlement  principles.     It  originated   by  federating  working  girls'   and  boys'

clubs  existing  separately  under  the  direction  of  a  number  of  young  men  and 
women.  The  clubs  occupy  seven  rooms  and  a  large  gymnasium  in  a  tenement 
house  in  a  large  tenement  district.  Their  chief  aim  is  to  reach  the  Russian 
element  in  that  neighborhood — an  element  which  has  not  taken  advantage  of 
our  schools,  and  which  is,  therefore,  still  almost  alien." — President  of  Society. 

The  University  Settlement. 

Liberty  and  Plum  Streets,  Cincinnati,  Oliio. 

Founded,  October  i,  1899,  by  the  University  Settlement  Association  of  the  University  of 
Cincinnati. 

Head  resident,  Wm.  B.  Duttera. 

Number  of  residents,  i.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  32. 

The  settlement  has  a  kindergarten,  mothers'  meeting,  sewing  school, 
penny  provident  bank,  free  reading-room  and  circulating  library,  gymnasium, 
clubs,  sloyd  and  singing  societies. 

"The  cleavage  between  'rich  and  poor' in  Cincinnati  is  accentuated  by 
physical  conditions.  The  well-to-do  live  in  the  suburbs  on  the  hilltops, 
leaving  the  valley  to  the  tenements  and  their  residents.  The  settlement  is  in 
the  centre  of  the  city,  among  the  most  crowded  districts.  Its  aim  is  to  bind 
the  hilltops  and  valley  together." — Head  Reside7it. 

CLEVELAND 

The  Alta  Social  Settlement. 

Corner  Mayfield  and  Fairview  Streets,  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Founded,  February  20,  igoo,  by  J.  D.  Rockefeller,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Cleveland  Day 
Nursery  and  Free  Kindergarten  Association. 
Head  worker,  Katharine  E.  Smith. 
Number  of  residents,  men  3,  women  4  ;  total  7.    Number  of  non-resident  workers,  21. 

Distinctive  work,  "crippled  children's  kindergarten  and  workshop." 
"  Alta  House  is  situated  in  a  settlement  of  about  5,000  Italians.     Our  club 
work  is  largely  along   the  line  of  recreation  and  practical  demonstrations,  in 
many  forms,  of  the  American  home  life." — Lettet-  of  Head  Worker. 

The  Goodrich  Social  Settlement. 

368  St.  Clair  Street,  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Founded,  May,  1807,  by  Mrs.  Samuel  Mather,  under  the  auspices  of  a  Board  of  Incor- 
porators selected  by  Mrs.  Mather.  The  work  is  now  carried  on  by  fifteen  Trustees  chosen  by 
the  incorporators. 

Head  resident,  Starr  Cadwallader. 

Number  of  residents,  5  men,  6  women  ;  total,  11.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  60. 

The  most  distinctive  work  is  the  social  clubs.  There  are,  besides  classes, 
a  gymnasium,  a  library,  baths,  laundry,  entertainments  and  neighborhood 
gatherings,  vacation  school  and  Summer  outings,  and  a  considerable  amount 
of  unorganized  work  which  varies  with  the  season  and  the  year. 

"  Last  summer  a  physician  was  at  the  house  each  day  to  prescribe  modified 
milk  for  sick  babies.  At  the  present  time  a  trained  nurse  is  in  residence.  The 
settlement,  for  two  years  past,  has  encouraged  the  growing  of  plants  and 
flowers  in  the  houses  of  the  neighborhood.  This  year,  through  the  co-operation 
of  the  Board  of  Education,  seeds  are  to  be  distributed  in  most  of  the  schools 
of  the  city.  Since  the  opening  of  the  house,  the  school  enumeration  for  a  part 
of  the  district  in  which  the  house  is  located  has  been  taken  by  one  of  the 
residents.  Last  year  the  investigation  into  the  substitutes  for  the  saloons,  for 
the  ethical  sub-committee  of  the  Committee  of  Fifty,  was  made  from  the  house. 
The  residents  of  the  house  have  taken  an  active  part  in  municipal  affairs. 
They  are  assisting  in  an  effort  to  secure  small  parks  and  playgrounds  in  the 
down  town  districts.  The  organization  of  the  Consumers'  League  has  just 
resulted  from  the  continued  exertion  of  one  of  the  residents.  Two  residents 
are  this  year  members  of  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Associated  Charities 
and  are  aiding  in  a  re-organization  of  that  body.  Three  picture  exhibitions  and 
one  exhibition  of  sewing  have  been  given  in  the  house. 

"To  one  who  has  lived  in  Goodrich  House  since  its  opening  and  seen  it 
becoming  more  and  more  a  neighborhood  centre,  the  thought  comes  that,   to

many  of  the  older  people,  here  within  reach  is  a  little  band  of  people,  always 
ready  to  aid  with  kindly  suggestion,  sympathy  and  help  in  case  of  need, 
means  more  than  all  else.  For,  after  all,  to  most  of  us,  living  in  any  nighbor- 
hood,  under  any  circumstances,  human  sympathy  is  craved  and  valued  as 
nothing  else." — Head  Resident.

Distinctive  work,  educational. 

"The  Hiram  House  was  organized  out  of  a  spirit  to  share  a  home,  with  its 
pictures  and  books,  culture  and  refinement,  with  the  unprivileged  classes  ;_to 
work  with  the  neighbors  toward  developing  a  higher  expression,  a  finer  quality 
of  life  ;  and  to  assist  in  the  enforcement  of  law.  Day  by  day  it  is  bringing  the 
groups  of  people  who  misunderstand  each  other  into  closer  relationship,  and 
is  doing  much  to  break  down  the  barriers  which  separate  man  from  man,  is 
fostering  and  encouraging  the  Fatherhood  of  God  and  the  brotherhood  of  man. 
It  is  immediately  interested  in  the  social,  municipal,  philanthropic  and  industrial 
activities  of  the  ward  and  city.  It  is  doing  much  to  brighten  the  lives  of  the 
children  in  the  kindergarten  and  nursery,  and  through  its  pleasant  gatherings 
is  giving  elevating  recreation  to  the  social  life  of  many.  Through  its  clubs  it 
is  interesting  young  men  in  political,  municipal  and  social  questions.  Its  class 
work  has  encouraged  education  and  influenced  some  to  re-enter  the  public 
schools." — Statement  by  warden  in  pamphlet.

College  Settlement  of  Philadelphia. 

431-433  Christian  Street,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  (Former  address,  617  St.  Mary  Street,  which 
was  later  Carver  Street,  and  is  now  Rodman  Street.) 

Opened,  April,  1892,  under  the  direction  of  the  College  Settlements  Association,  continuing 
the  work  of  the  St.  Mary  Street  Library  Committee.

Head  worker,  Miss  Anna  Freeman  Davis,  M.  A.  (Former  head  workers.  Miss  F.  W. 
McLean,  Miss  H.  S.  Dudley,  Miss  K.  B.  Davis.) 

Number  of  residents,  5  women.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  50. 

Distinctive  work  :  "  Personal  acquaintance  and  social  leadership  are 
perhaps  our  strongest  side.  '  Americanization  '  is  the  keynote  of  much  that 
we  attempt,  as  our  people  are  mostly  foreigners." — Head   Worker. 

The  settlement  was  obliged  to  move  from  its  old  quarters,  which  were 
demolished  in  the  improvement  of  the  Starr  Garden  Park.  On  September  27, 
1S99,  the  household  moved  to  433  Christian  Street,  and  later  were  able  to 
obtain  the  adjoining  house. 

We  have  moved  ;  we  have  set  our  stakes  deeply  and  permanently  in  our 
new  field;  and  now,  forgetting  the  things  which  are  behind,  we  are  asking 
ourselves  questions  of  the  future.  What  is  the  next  thing?  Nay,  we  must  say 
rather,  what  are  the  next  things,  for  the  next  thing  never  comes  singly  at  a  set- 
tlement, especially  at  a  time  like  this.  It  is  not  so  important  to  establish  large 
and  far-reaching  policies  as  it  is  to  determine  methods  by  which  small  and  in- 
tensely practical  improvements  in  plant  and  organization  may  be  quickly  re- 
alized. In  general,  what  vve  have  to  do  is  this  :  First,  to  put  into  the  best 
possible  condition  for  use  our  present  quarters  ;  second,  to  use  them  up  to  the 
limit  of  their  capacity  ;  third,  to  find  out  the  most  desirable  and  economical 
line  of  expansion  as  the  pressure  of  growth  makes  itself  felt. — Head  Worker's

St.  Peter's  House. 

(A  Church  Settlement.) 

loo  Pine  Street,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 

Opened,  1869,  as  a  Protestant  Episcopal  Mission  of  St.  Peter's  Church.  Under  the  rector- 
ship of  Dr.  Parks,  St.  Peter's  House  was  used  as  a  church  settlement,  where  an  efficient  band  of 
workers  were  in  residence.  In  September,  1897,  Rev.  Bernard  Schulte,  S.  T.  D.,  vicar  in  charge, 
entered  into  residence  and  the  work  became  more  formally  again  a  church  missions  house. 

The  work  includes  religious  services  and  classes,  kindergarten,  kitchen 
garden,  women's  sewing  society,  mothers'  meetings,  sewing  school,  a  branch  of 
the  fuel  savings  fund,  co-operative  purchasing  clubs,  and  savings  bank.

Founded,  also  in  1891,  and  in  connection  with  the  Bermondsey  settlement,  though  not  under 
its  committee,  the  founders  being  Dr.  Moulton,  Mr.  Lidgett  and  Miss  Alice  Barlow.  Miss  Mary

"Apart  from  the  special  objects  and  methods  of  the  settlement,  one  broad 
impression  will,  I  think,  be  made  upon  those  who  read  the  chronicle  of  its 
doings.  It  is  an  honest  attempt  to  make  Christian  work  more  civic,  and  civic 
work  more  Christian  in  sympathy  and  aims." — Seventh  Annual  Report  of  the 
Bermondsey  Settlement^  by  J.  Scott  Lidgett,  JVardeti,  London,  November,  1898. 

"The  settlement  exists  for  the  neighborhood,  and  not  for  any  particular 
class.  It  is  catholic,  and  therefore  represents  a  fellowship  in  and  for  the  higher 
life,  comprehensively  understood,  in  which  all  may  claim  a  share.  And 
secondly,  the  settlement  aims  at  balancing  the  work  of  leadership  and  organi- 
zation with  that  of  personal  friendship,  as  must  needs  be  done  when  general 
social  progress  is  in  view.  We  touch,  more  and  more,  all  the  interests  and 
concerns  around  us  —  religious,  educational,  social,  and  administrative." —

"So  far  as  we  succeed  at  all  it  is  among  the  people  round  about  us,  and 
all  our  work  is  directed  in  teaching  them  in  their  everyday  lives.  This  does 
not,  of  course,  admit  of  ready  transference  to  the  pages  of  a  report,  nor  to  the 
methods  of  statistics.  Work  here  calls  for  steady  and  continuous  effort. 
Nothing  else  pays  ;  nothing  reports  worse." — Head  Resident.

20  Queen's  Square,  W.  C,  Bloomsbury,  London,  England. 

Founded,  1893,  by  a  committee  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  without  official  connection  with  the 
organization  of  the  Society. 

Warden,  F.  E.  Harvey,  M.  A.     (Former  warden,   George   Newman,   M.    D.) 

Number  of  residents,  12  men.  Number  of  non-resident  workers,  "no  definite  association, 
but  many  who  co-operate." 

Activities  of  the  settlement  :  Working  men's  club  (including  subsidiary 
societies  for  bicycling,  swimming,  cricket,  football,  and  table  games),  a  book 
circle  for  working  men  and  women,  lecttires,  concerts  and  entertainments, 
Sunday  morning  adult  school  and  newspaper  class,  Sunday  evening  religious 
meeting,  educational  classes,  Saturday  picnic  parties  to  the  country,  etc. 

Chalfont  House  was  opened  in  1893  to  meet  a  twofold  object,  viz.:  to  act 
as  a  hall  of  residence  for  young  men  in  London,  either  Friends  or  closely 
associated  with  the  society  ;  and  to  afford  opportunity  for  work  of  a  social  and 
religious  character  to  be  carried  on  by  the  residents  and  their  friends  as  circum- 
stances permitted.  There  are  ten  residents'  rooms  in  the  house,  and  since  1894 
there  have  been  ten  or  eleven  men  regularly  in  residence.  Taking  part  in  the 
social  or  religious  work  of  Chalfont  House  is  not  a  condition  of  residence,  but 
is  optional.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  during  the  last  year  fewer  of  the  residents 
have  been  able  to  share  in  the  outside  work,  owing,  in  part,  to  the  fact  that 
they  have  had  their  own  studies  in  the  evenings,  which  claimed  their  first 
attention. — Report  of  Warden,  June,  1900.

Activities  of  settlement  are  classes,  mothers'  meetings,  clubs  for  boys  and 
girls,  district  visiting,  teaching,  preparation  of  candidates  for  baptism  and 
confirmation,  and  attending  to  the  care  of  churches. 

"This  settlement  was  founded  to  supply  a  felt  want,  or  rather  two; 
first — workers  for  the  very  poor  parishes  which  have  no  rich  residents  ;  second, 
a  sphere  of  useful  work  for  the  church  for  ladies  who  have  no  wish  to  enter 
sisterhoods  or  who  can  for  family  reasons  only  give  three  or  four  months  in 
the  year  to  outside  work.  It  has  evidently  struck  a  vein  which  needed  tapping, 
for  it  has  grown  beyond  the  expectation  of  its  founders." — Statement  of  Head 
Worker.

Mission  is  much  cramped   in   its  present  quarters,  but  hopes  soon  to  move  to 
larger  ones.

"  The  Hoxton  Settlement  consists  merely  of  as  many  tenements  as  are 
necessary  in  a  huge  block  of  workmen's  dwellings  in  a  very  poor  neighbor- 
hood. It  has  no  buildings  or  halls  of  its  own.  It  has  no  funds  of  its  own.  If 
it  wants  to  feed  children,  it  gets  money  from  the  Children's  Dinners  Associa- 
tion ;  if  it  wants  to  start  children's  games,  it  applys  to  the  Children's  Happy 
Evening  Society,  and  so  on.  It  believes  in  making  use  of  existing  societies, 
and  not  adding  to  societies.  It  supplies  workers  to  a  district  where  there  are 
no  resident  rich.  There  is  no  servant  at  the  settlement  ;  the  members  do  their 
own  work  and  live  like  their  neighbors." — Statement  0/ Head  Worker.

representatives  of  the  settlement  having  part  in  various  departments  of  public

During  the  year  iSgg  the  settlement  was  largely  occupied  in  organizing 
and  developing  the  work  by  the  aid  of  the  new  buildings  which  came  into  its 
possession  during  the  preceding  twelve  months.

Warden,  Rev.  Canon  A.  F.  Winnington  Ingram,  M.  A.,  rector  of  St.  Matthew's,  Bethnal 
Green. 

"The  Oxford  House  in  Bethnal  Green  is  established,"  says  the  latest 
annual  report,  "in  order  that  Oxford  men  may  take  part  in  the  social  and 
religious  work  of  the  Church  in  East  London  ;  that  they  may  learn  something 
of  the  life  .of  the  poor;  may  try  to  better  the  condition  of  the  working  classes 
as  regards  health  and  recreation,  mental  culture  and  spiritual  teaching,  and 
may  offer  an  example,  so  far  as  in  them  lies,  of  a  simple  and  religious  life." 

"One  great  point  of  difference  between  this  institution  and  Toynbee  Hall 
is  to  be  found  in  their  attitude  towards  religion.  The  founders  of  Toynbee 
Hall  cut  off  every  impediment  which  might  accrue  from  the  profession  of  any 
particular  form  of  creed.  The  Oxford  House  founded  itself  upon  Christianity. 
But  the  marked  characteristic  of  Toynbee  Hall  is  that  it  is  an  outpost  of 
University  Extension  ;  of  Oxford  House,  that  it  has  given  a  new  tone  and 
impulse  to  the  Working  Man's  Club." — Sir  W.  R.  Anson,  in  The  Economic 
Review. 

"The  Baths'  Committee  presented  an  interesting  report  upon  the  working 
of  the  Excelsior  buildings  during  the  first  year  of  its  management  by  the 
Oxford  House.  The  winter  season  had  been  occupied  with  two  weekly 
entertainments  given  by  the  Oxford  House  Musical  and  Dramatic  Association, 
by  Sunday  lectures,  and  by  the  drill  of  the  Church  Lads'  Brigade.  The 
dwelling  house,  moreover,  had  been  occupied  by  resident  v.'orkers  all  through 
the  winter.  The  summer  season  had  opened  late,  owing  to  inevitable 
refractoriness  of  the  old  boiler.  Mr.  Edwards,  however,  to  whom  the  Council 
were  bound  in  gratitude,  had  triumphed  eventually  over  difficulties,  and  the 
bathing  season  began.     During  the  season  38,000  persons  bathed,  19,800  being

St.  Margaret's  House,  4  Victoria  Park  Square,  and  University  House,  17  Victoria  Park 
Square,  Bethnal  Green,  E.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  October,  iSgg,  under  the  auspices  of  a  united  representation  of  Ladies  of  Oxford 
and  a  guild  of  the  Cheltenham  Ladies'  College,  by  whom  also  Mayfield  House  is  supported. 

Head  resident.  Miss  Beatrice  Harrington. 

Number  of  residents,  18  women.     Non-resident  workers,  8. 

There  are  clubs  for  girls  and  women,  work  with  the  Charity  Organization 
.Society,  the  Metropolitan  Association  for  befriending  young  servants,  also 
children's,  girls'  and  women's  country  holiday  funds,  school  management, 
hospital  and  workhouse  visiting,  and  district  work.  That  which  is  distinctive 
is  "  social  and  religious  work  among  girls  and  women." 

"To  provide  a  centre  in  Bethnal  Green  at  which  ladies  can  reside  for 
religious,  social  and  educational  work  among  the  women  and  girls  of  St. 
Andrew's  and  the  surrounding  poor  parishes." 

"  The  Settlement  was  named  after  St.  Margaret,  Queen  of  Scotland,  an 
English  Princess  who  carried  a  more  enlightened  Christianity,  a  more  refined 
cultivation,  and  a  more  practical  philanthropy  into  a  country  not  wholly 
ignorant  of  better  things,  but  cut  off  by  circumstances  from  social  intercourse 
with  those  more  favored  in  educational  advantages  than  themselves." 

"  Donations  of  nearly  ;^i,ooo  have  already  been  promised  toward  the 
acquisition  of  a  site  and  the  erection  on  it  of  more  suitable  buildings." — Report,

Passmore  Edwards  House. 
(Succeeds  University  Hall,  Gordon  Square.) 

Tavistock  Place  and  Little  Coram  Street,  St.  Pancras,  N.  W.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  1896,  under  the  inspiration  of  Mrs.  Humphry  Ward,  as  a  further  development  of 
the  social  work  carried  on  at  Marchmont  Hall,  under  the  auspices  of  the  University  Hall 
settlement. 

Warden,  R.  G.  Tatton,  M.  A.,  Balliol  College  (formerly  fellow  and  tutor). 

Number  of  residents,  10  men. 

The  activities  are  educational,  recreative  and  social. 

The  settlement  is  undenominational,  and  includes  among  its  supporters 
men  and  women  of  the  most  various  shades  of  religious  as  well  as  political 
opinion.  The  Council  includes  representatives  of  the  London  City  Council 
and  the  Technical  Education  Board,  the  London  Society  for  the  Extension  of 
University  Teaching,  the  London  School  of  Economics,  the  Working  Men's

splendid  building. — Circular.

*  Pembroke  College  Mission. 

2c7aEast  Street,  Walworth,  S.  E.,  London,  E.,  England. 

Founded,  1886,  under  the  auspices  of  Pembroke  College,  Cambridge. 

C    F.  Andrews,  warden. 

The  work  comprises  religious,  social,  athletic  and  educational  activities, 
together  with  temperance  work,  and  throughout  there  is  a  strong  religious 
emphasis.  In  answer  to  inquiries,  the  warden  says:  "The  mission  is  an 
integral  part  of  the  Anglican  Church,  worked  as  a  separate  parish,  with  daily 
and  weekly  services,  and  the  helps  of  the  religious  life.  The  work  is  entirely 
subsidiary  to  this  central  object.  It  has  been  worked  all  along  on  these  lines, 
and  experience  has  abundantly  convinced  us  that  such  lines  are  firmest  and 
most  permanent."  The  district  is  mainly  one  of  costermongers  and  bricklayers. 
The  mission  is  singularly  well  supported  by  personal  residential  help  from 
College.

Hall,  York  Street,  Walworth  Road,  S.  E.,  London,  England. 

Settlement  House,  82  Camberwell  Road,  S.  E. 

Opened,  December  13,  1894,  by  Rev.  Francis  Herbert  Stead,  M..  A.,  with  the  co-operation  of 
a  committee  formed  for  the  purpose.     Mr.  Stead  is  warden. 

Number  of  residents,  6  men,  7  women,  4  children  ;  total,  17.  Number  of  non-resident 
workers,  30. 

The  hall  stands  in  a  district  miserably  poor  and  houses  a  population  of 
more  than  120,000  on  less  than  one  square  mile.  It  was  built  as  a  Congrega- 
tional chapel  in  1790,  and  was  the  place  of  worship  Robert  Browning  atiended 
until  he  had  grown  to  man's  estate,  and  the  place  where  he  was  baptized. 

"  The  promotion  of  the  labor  movement  in  religion  "  is  declared  by 
Mr.  Stead  to  be  the  distinctive  work  and  purpose  of  the  settlement,  and  the 
means  by  which  this  end  is  reached  are  educational  classes,  religious  services, 
pleasant  Sunday  afternoons,  poor  man's  lawyer,  open  parliament,  etc.  A 
circular,  issued  in  the  neighborhood,  indicates  the  spirit  in  which  all  the  work 
is  done  : — 


54  England. 

"You  know  our  aim.  We  wish  to  make  life  in  Walworth  brighter,  sweeter, 
fuller.  Will  you  help  us  ?  Will  you  help  us  that  we  may  all  become  better 
neighbors  and  fellow  citizens  ?  Will  you  help  us  to  draw  closer  all  the  links  of 
local  life,  that  we  may  lift  it  to  a  higher  level?  We  stand  for  the  labor  move- 
ment in  religion.  We  stand  for  the  endeavor  to  obtain  for  labor  not  merely 
more  of  the  good  things  of  life,  but  most  of  the  best  things  in  life.  Come  and 
join  us  as  comrades  in  the  service  of  Him  who  is  Lord  of  Labor  and  the  Soul 
of  all  social  reform.

*  Rugby  School  Home  Mission. 

The  Rugby  House,  292  Lancaster  Road,  Netting  Hill,  W.,  London,  England. 
Founded  originally  in  1885,  but  taken  over  by  Rugby  in  i88g,  under  the  headship  of  A.  F. 
Walmer,  an  old  Rugbeian. 

\.  A.  Daniel  is  now  head  resident. 

Dealing  with  boys  and  young  men  of  the  unskilled  and  casual  laborer 
class  is  described  as  the  distinctive  work  of  the  settlement,  among  whose 
departments  may  be  mentioned  the  *'  Old  Guard"  club  of  young  men  who  have 
been  through  the  boys'  club,  and  the  club  for  younger  boys.  A  company  of 
the  London  Battalion  of  the  Boys'  Brigade  is  located  at  the  settlement,  and  the 
work  is  supplemented  with  cricket,  football,  debating  societies,  etc.  The 
Rugby  school  is  back  of  the  work  both  financially  and  as  supplying  workers 
from  among  old  members.  "To  do  our  work  thoroughly,  we  must  gain  a 
knowledge  of  the  home  life  of  each  boy,  discover  his  individuality,  and  then, 
when  we  are  thrown  into  contact  with  him  in  the  club,  we  can  more  readily 
sympathize  with  him,  while  he,  on  his  side,  is  more  likely  to  confide  in  us,  and 
a  bond  of  tinion  springs  up,  without  which  success  is  impossible." — Sixth

*  St.  Mildred's  House. 

Millwall,  E.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  1897,  with  Miss  A.  M.  Harington,  formerly  of  St.  Margaret's  House,  as;head. 

"  St.  Mildred's  House,"  says  an  authoritative  statement  for  the  Bibliography, 
"  was  started  at  the  Isle  of  Dogs  (Millwall),  on  the  initiative  and  at  the  expense 
of  Miss  Hilda  Barry,  who  has  been  working  at  St.  Margaret's,  and,  with  Miss 
Harington,  also  of  St.  Margeret's,  has  gone  into  residence  at  St.  Mildred's. 
The  new  settlement  will  be  affiliated  to  St.  Margaret's  and  will  work  on  the 
same  lines.     St.  Mildred's  will  accommodate  seven  residents.

ToYNBEE  Hall. 

28  Commercial  Street,  Whitechapel,  E.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  1884,  by  Rev.  Canon  S.  A.  Barnett  and  friends,  as  a  memorial  to  Arnold  Toynbee, 
and  named  in  his  honor  under  the  auspices  of  the  Universities'  Association. 

Warden,  Rev.  Canon  S.  A.  Barnett. 

Number  of  residents,  18-20  men.  Number  of  non-resident  workers,  30-40  class-takers  and 
about  200  associates,  who  co-operate  with  the  residents  in  various  branches  of  the  work. 

Activities  of  the  settlement  are  too  numerous  to  mention.  They  are  social, 
recreative  and  educational.  "The  majority  of  the  residents  at  Toynbee  Hall 
are  engaged  in  professional  duties  of  their  own,  and  visit  clubs,  take  classes. 


England.  55 

etc.,  in  their  evenings  or  other  spare  time.  A  few  of  the  residents  are  able  to 
give  their  whole  time.  Care  is  taken  to  strengthen  existing  institutions,  of 
which  there  are  many  in  East  London,  rather  than  to  start  new  ones  ;  to  supply 
them  with  workers,  rather  than  to  supplant  or  compete  with  them.  _  The  edu- 
cational work,  though  it  extends  to  about  1,000  students,  and  occupies  a  large 
place  in  reports  and  in  the  notice  of  visitors  to  the  hall,  does  not  absorb  so 
much  of  the  time  or  care  of  the  actual  residents  as  is  sometimes  supposed. 
Toynbee  Hall  has  given  it  a  home  and  centre,  and  has,  to  a  great  extent,  sup- 
plied the  initial  impetus  which  has  enabled  it  to  go  on  of  itself.  Much  of  the 
educational  work  here  described  does  not  touch  directly  the  "  working  classes," 
but  a  class  rather  better  off,  whose  intellectual  needs  are  in  some  ways  as 
great,  and  the  provision  for  them  ("secondary  education")  not  yet  so  well 
organized.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  future  of  London,  and  the  welding 
of  its  citizens  into  one,  will  be  greatly  influenced  for  good  by  the  growth  of 
real  knowledge,  and  of  liberal  education  amongst  this  class,  and  by  the  friend- 
ships formed  in  the  common  pursuit  of  it.  But  the  educational  work  is  also 
attracting  in  increasing  numbers  the  artisan  and  laboring  classes.  "  Wadham 
House"  and  "  Balliol  House,"  close  to  Toynbee  Hall,  give  to  men  engaged 
during  the  day  in  business,  but  wishing  to  avail  themselves  of  the  educational 
opportunities  offered  by  the  hall,  some  of  the  advantages  of  college  life.  The 
rent  of  a  room  (including  the  use  of  a  "  common  room  ")  is  8/-  a  week.  There 
are  about  fifty-five  students  now  in  residence.  Toynbee  Hall,  in  its  corporate 
capacity,  is  non-political  and  undenominational.  No  one,  by  living  there  or 
by  helping  it,  commits  himself  to  any  particular  set  of  opinions.  But  individual 
residents  can  and  do  take  their  own  line  both  in  thought  and  work. — Extracts 
from  circular  of  general  information  issued  by  Toynbee  Hall,  March,  1900. 

"Toynbee  Hall — it  seems  as  if  it  never  could  be  too  often  repeated — 
stands  for  the  way  of  life  as  distinct  from  the  way  of  machinery.  The  world 
is  moved  by  the  power  which  is  applied  by  character,  by  the  personal  influence 
of  individuals,  by  life,  and  also  by  that  which  is  applied  by  organization,  by 
law,  by  machinery. 

"  Toynbee  Hall  exists  that  individuals  may  tell  on  individuals,  that  the 
knowledge  accumulated  in  the  universities  and  the  experience  accumulated  in 
industry  may  move  public  opinion  through  the  friendships  formed  between 
university  men  and  the  inhabitants  of  industrial  neighborhoods. 

"  But  such  friendships  are  sure  to  lead  to  organizations.  When  two  or  three 
meet  together  and  in  the  presence  of  the  higher  ideal  which  appears  in  their 
midst  see  the  ignorance  or  the  suffering  or  the  sin  which  is  around,  they 
cannot  help  starting  the  machinery  by  which  that  goodwill  may  become 
effective. 

"  The  following  report  will  tell  what  has  been  done  during  the  past  year 
by  such  machinery,  but  it  is  left  for  me  to  remind  all  readers  that  it  is  personal 
contact  from  which  everything  has  grown,  and  that  it  is  a  further  personal 
contact  which  everything  has  to  foster.  If  it  be  that  critics,  counting  up  the 
number  of  students  and  the  activities  of  the  clubs  give  us  praise,  our  answer  is 
'  It  is  not  by  such  a  standard  we  would  be  judged.'  And  if  we  ourselves  are 
led  to  think  about  our  doings  and  to  rival  other  organizations  in  making  a  show, 
we  must  correct  ourselves  by  the  reflection  that  we  are  here,  not  so  much  to  do 
things  as  to  know  and  to  be  known. 

"Machinery  is  necessary,  but  the  machinery  which  deals  with  human 
beings  must  have  a  hand  to  touch  their  needs  and  be  directed  by  a  mind  keen 
to  re-adapt  its  action.  The  hand  and  the  mind  are  in  the  residents,  the  asso- 
ciates and  all  those  who  are  with  us  as  those  who  serve." — Warden  in  Fifteenth 
Annual  Report  of  the  Universities'  Settlement  in  East  London,  June  30,  1899.

The  United  Girls'  Schools'  Mission  Settlement. 

I  Albany  Row,  Camberwell,  S.  E.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  September,  1898,  under  the  direct  patronage  of  the   Lord  Bishop  of  Rochester. 

Head  resident.  Miss  CJooch.     (Former  head  resident.  Miss  Partin.) 

Number  of  residents,  6.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  24. 

"  The  lease  of  the  house  which  is  used  as  a  settlement  house  and  factory 
girls'  club  was  bought  and  presented  to  the  mission  by  Miss  Dove,  of  Wycomb 
Abbey,  Buck,  in  i8q8." — A'^ote  of  Head  Resident. 

"The  mission  somewhat  resembles — on  the  part  of  girls — the  missions  of 
some  of  the  boys'  public  schools.  It  is  maintained  by  a  union  of  the  girls' 
schools,  already  embracing  more  than  sixty  schools  throughout  England,  and 
hoping  in  time  to  be  joined  by  all  girls'  public,  private  and  high  schools. 

"  The  district  selected  for  the  first  mission — near  the  old  Kent  Road — 
covers  only  six  and  one-half  acres,  but  contains  6,500  people,  or  an  average  of 
1000  to  each  acre.  All  the  people  are  quite  poor,  and  live  three  to  five  families 
in  every  house.  There  are  no  '  slums,'  nor  on  the  other  hand  is  there  a  single 
garden  or  tree." — The  Third  Report  of  the  United  Girls'  Schools'  A/issions,

*  Wellington  College  Mission. 

183  East  Street,  Walworth,  C.  E.,  London,  England. 

Founded,  1888,  by  the  masters  and  boys,  past  and  present,  of  Wellington  College,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Bishop  of  Rochester,  to  take  charge  of  a  part  of  the  parish  of  St.  Peter's, 
Walvvorih,  for  spiritual  care,  social  work,  and  physical  aid,  nursing,  etc. 

The  emphasis  is  religious,  but  there  is  an  active  social  work.  The  reports 
for  1894,  'q5  and  '96  give  a  good  idea  of  the  work,  which  ministers  to  a 
laboring  population  of  5,000,  some  of  whom  are  in  abject  poverty.

The  principal  line  of  work  is  co-operation  with  the  existing  agencies  for 
promotion  of  welfare  of  the  poor  (especially  women  and  children),  and  train- 
ing of  workers  by  lectures  on  social  and  economic  subjects,  and  practical  work.

*  Star  Hall,  Ancoats. 

Star  Hall,  Ancoats,  Manchester,  England. 

Founded  by  the  late  Frank  W.  Crossley,  and  now  maintained  by  Mrs.  Crossley. 

This  work  is  not  known  as  a  settlement,  being  rather  a  mission,  but  it 
possesses  more  of  the  true  settlement  spirit  than  many  an  institution  of 
undoubted   settlement  status.      Of  the   beginnings  of  the   work,  an  intimate

friend,  writing  to  the  Manchester  Guardian  at  the  time  of  Mr.  Crossley's  death, 
in  the  spring  of  i8g7,  said  :  "  He  searched  carefully  for  the  most  needy  district 
in  Manchester,  This  he  found  in  Ancoats,  at  that  time  much  more  neglected 
than  it  is  to-day.  There  was  an  old  music  hall  called  the  Star,  which  he  pur- 
chased, and  upon  the  site  of  it  and  in  the  neighboring  streets  he  built  his 
mission  hall  and  dwelling  house,  and  afterwards  the  row  of  houses  used  as 
training  homes  for  missionaries.  There  he  and  his  wife  and  family  have  made 
their  home,  laboring  without  sparing  themselves  for  the  spiritual,  moral  and 
temporal  welfare  of  the  poor  people  round  about.  It  was  a  very  unusual 
course  to  take,  and  there  was  much  wonder  and  some  criticism  among  friends  ; 
but  altogether  apart  from  the  success  of  the  work  in  Ancoats — and  there  was 
success — an  impression  was  created  in  the  minds  of  many  good  people  of  the 
more  conventional  sort  which  is  not  likely  soon  to  wear  off.  Here  were  people 
really  'living  the  life.'  There  could  be  no  mistake  about  the  fact  of  their 
sincerity  and  devotion  ;  they  had  decided  on  a  noble  course  of  action,  and  no 
generous  heart  could  attempt  to  belittle  it.  The  Star  Hall  soon  became  the 
centre  of  a  movement  for  a  higher  and  more  consistent  standard  of  Christian 
living,  and  its  influence  has  by  no  means  been  confined  to  the  inhabitants  of 
the  immediate  neighborhood."

theological  college  (Free  Church  of  Scotland). 
Rev.  A.  C.  Dawson,  M.A.,  is  warden. 

The  emphasis  upon  the  work  is  religious — "Our  aim  is  first  personal 
religion,  and  we  believe  the  more  purely  secular  agencies  maintained  further 
this  end."  There  are  several  Sunday  meetings,  and  one  on  Thursday,  for 
religious  services,  and  there  are  also  various  social  clubs  and  other  similar 
activities.  The  workers  are  largely  drawn  from  the  Free  St.  Andrew's  Church, 
though  several  are  in  actual  residence.

Senior  resident.  Prof.  Patrick  Geddes. 

Number  of  residents 

"  It  is  difficult  to  give  figures  since  there  is  not  a  differentiation  between 
workers  and  residents.  Naturally  many  residents  who  are  students,  etc.,  do 
not  do  any  settlement  work  as  ordinarily  understood,  but  yet  help  in  the  work 
of  University  Hall  by  the  mere  fact  of  residence." 

"The  departments  of  work  are:  (i)  Provision  of  social  residence  among 
University  students,  graduates  and  others.  (2)  City  improvement  by  alter- 
ation of  existing  and  erection  of  new  buildings.  (3)  Educational,  especially  in 
social  science,  geography,  history,  nature  study  and  art." — Senior  Resident. 

The  work  of  University  Hall  is  now  carried  on  by  the  Town  and  Gown 
Association,  Limited,  the  board  of  which  has  representatives  of  civic  interests 
on  the  one  hand  and  academic  on  the  other.  Prof.  Geddes  is  managing 
director.  The  work  of  the  Association  has  recently  been  extended  to  London,

*ToYNBEE    House. 

Cathedral  Court,  Rottenrow,  Glasgow,  Scotland. 

Founded,  November,  1886,  as  a  contribution  of  the  University  toward  the  solution  of  the 
problems  of  the  east  end  of  Glasgow. 

"  The  first  move  toward  social  work  on  the  part  of  the  universities  resulted 
in  the  establishment  of  the  Toynbee  House  in  a  poor  quarter  not  far  from  the 
Cathedral  in  Glasgow." — R.  A.  Woods  in  The  Congregationalist. 

"  From  the  outset  we  have  tried  to  make  Toynbee  House  a  centre  of  social 
work  in  the  district.  Members  of  the  association,  grouped  together  as 
families,  undertook  to  get  gradually  acquainted  with  residents,  and  to  invite 
them  to  social  gatherings  .  .  .  and  this  gave  us  opportunities  of  becoming 
better  acquainted  with  our  neighbors.  I  think  that  we  may  say  that  each  of 
these  families  has  established  itself  is  the  nucleus  of  a  little  friendly  circle 
which  has  grown     .     .     .     with  time." — Professor  Edward  Caird.

It  is  not  strictly  orthodox  to  call  the  institutions  of  the  Faubourg  St. 
Antoine  and  its  Paris  and  provincial  imitators  "settlements,"  since  (if  we 
except  Belleville,  where  a  number  of  university  students  have  taken  up  their 
abode  in  a  workingman's  tenement  house)  the  v^orkers  in  them  are  not  "resi- 
dents." They  call  themselves  "  uni  versit6s  populaires,"  but  they  have  so  little 
in  common  with  "university  extension" — which  has  existed  here  for  thirty 
years,  and  has  displayed  considerable  vigor  within  the  last  ten  or  twelve — and 
so  much  in  common,  spite  of  the  absence  of  *'  residents,"  with  the  settlements, 
that  it  is  doing  no  great  violence  to  reality  or  language  to  class  them  with  the 
latter.  It  is  not  only  that  they  are  active  in  a  score  of  ways  in  which  university 
extension  is  inert — they  are  primarily  social,  and  only  remotely  and  indiffer- 
ently pedagogic — but  the  relations  between  the  workers  and  the  people  are 
of  the  same  intimate,  natural,  wholesome,  mutually  benefiting  character  as 
in  the  settlements,  the  settlement  attitude  being  one  of  getting  as  well  as 
giving,  in  pursuance  of  the  settlement  belief  that  the  people  have  quite  as 
much  to  teach  as  they  have  to  learn. — Alvin  F.  Sanborn,  Boston  Evening

and  friendly  meetings,  as  much  as  possible,  of  persons  of  both  sexes.  The 
religious  and  political  views  of  those  who  attend  the  meetings,  in  what  capacity 
they  may  come,  are  never  to  be  inquired  after.  The  means  to  attain  this  end 
are  a  reading-room  for  men  and  women  ;  weekly  lectures  on  literature,  history, 
physics,  pedagogy,  political  economy  ;  courses  of  lectures  on  different  subjects 
for  men  and  women  separately,  or  for  both  together  (these  discussions  are 
marked  by  an  intimate  tone);  Sunday  evening  meetings  ;  musical  or  theatrical 
performances  ;  magic  lantern  ;  tableaux  (the  large  hall  accommodates  525 
persons  ;  one  price  for  all  rows)  ;  legal  advice  ;  clubs  for  boys,  girls,  men, 
women  ;  friendly  intercourse  ;  discussions  on  scientific  subjects  ;  chess  club  ; 
travelling  club  ;  and  lessons  in  the  Dutch,  French,  English  and  German 
languages,  bookkeeping,  reading  and  writing  for  adults,  needlework,  mending, 
making  and  cutting  of  one's  own  clothes,  cooking,  drilling  for  boys  and  girls, 
fencing,  acting,  singing  (choir  of  men  and  women). 

Fees  for  the  lessons,  clubs  and  meetings  are  from  2>^  to  10  cents  a  lesson 
(about  half  a  penny  to  2  pence) ;  for  the  reading-room,  25  cents  in  three  months 
(4  pence) ;  for  the  lectures,  5  cents  (i  penny)  ;  for  the  Sunday  evening  meetings, 
10  cents  (2  pence)  ;  beer,  lemonade,  coffee,  tea,  bread  and  cheese,  from  3  to  10 
cents  (half  a  penny  to  2  pence). 

A  committee  consisting  of  150  members  are  at  work  in  the  different 
divisions.  About  700  persons  attend  the  lessons,  clubs  and  meetings.  The 
average  number  of  those  who  attend  the  lectures  is  200,  and  of  the  Sunday 
evening  meetings  500.  Results,  if  the  better  developed  impart  their  knovy- 
ledge,  talents,  experience,  in  a  friendly  way  to  those  who  are  less  privileged  in 
that  respect,  the  result  is  expected  to  be,  that  they  will  learn  to  appreciate  and 
feel  interested  in  each  other,  which  will  be  a  great  satisfaction  to  either  party.

JAPAN 

KYOTO 

AlRINSHA. 
(The  House  of  Neighborly  Love.) 
Kyoto,  Japan. 
Opened,  January,  1893.     Rev.  Dr.  M.  L.  Gordon,  missionary. 


62  Japan — New  South  Wales. 

"Airinsha"  is  the  outgrowth  of  Rev.  Dr.  M.  L.  Gordon's  American  Board 
Mission  at  Kyoto.  "We  had,"  says  Dr.  Gordon,  "a  night  school  where  the 
English  branches  were  taught.  Later,  we  established  a  kindergarten,  which, 
like  the  night  school,  is  still  in  successful  operation."  The  district  of  Kyoto, 
where  Airinsha  is  located,  is  east  of  the  Kamo  River  and  near  the  greatest 
thoroughfare  of  the  city,  which  is  the  third  largest  in  Japan.  In  this  district 
of  Kyoto  live  thousands  of  abjectly  poor  laboring  people,  in  the  midst  of  a 
large  number  of  silk  and  porcelain  factories,  and  in  the  neighboring  hotels  and 
boarding  houses  are  many  students.  The  distinctive  feature  of  Airinsha  is 
that  it  is  missionary,  and  religious  teaching  is  a  large  portion  of  its  work.  It 
is  practically  a  household  church,  including  Sunday-school,  Bible  classes,  etc.

TOKYO 

The  Kingsley  Hall. 

No.  I  3d  Street  Misakicho,  Kenda,  Tokyo,  Japan.    (Former  address,  No.  12  First  Street.) 

Founded,  March  i,  1897,  by  Dr.  D.  C.  Greene  and  Sen  Joseph  Katayama,  under  the  auspices 
of  the  A.  B.  F.  Mission  and  the  Kingsley  Hall  Association. 

Head  resident.  Sen  Joseph  Katayama. 

Number  of  residents,  3  men,  2  women,  2  children ;  total,  7.  Number  of  non-resident 
workers,  5. 

The  activities  of  the  settlement  are  varied,  and  consist  of  a  Sunday-school, 
young  men's  club,  an  evening  school  for  working  men,  city  reform  club,  meet- 
ings for  the  study  of  the  poor,  kindergarten,  lectures  on  labor  questions, 
co-operative  movement,  publication  of  Labor  World,  and  "pleasant  Sunday 
afternoon  meetings."  Kenda,  where  the  settlement  is  located,  is  the  most 
crowded  section  of  the  city  of  Tokyo.  Its  population  consists  not  only  of  the 
poor,  but  also  of  the  students  in  the  schools  and  universities  of  Tokyo.  In  the 
midst  of  this  section,  whose  population  is  above  200,000 — Tokyo  is  a  city  of 
over  a  million  souls — Mr.  Katayama  opened  his  house,  naming  it  after  the 
great  English  Christian  socialist.  "  The  main  object  of  the  hall  is  to  become  a 
connecting  link  between  the  higher  and  lower  classes  of  the  country,  and  at 
the  same  time  to  impart  scientific  knowledge  to  young  men." — The  Covimoyis^

NEW  SOUTH  WALES 

SYDNEY 

The  Toynbee  Guild. 

The  University,  Sydney,  New  South  Wales.  (Previous  address,  Riley  Street,  Surry  Hill, 
Sydney.) 

Founded,  December  11,  1896,  by  Percy  F.  Rowland,  B.A.  (Oxon.),  T.  R.  Bavin.  B.A., 
L.  L.  B.  (Sydney),  and  members  of  Sydney  University,  or  of  any  other  university,  resident  in 
Sydney. 

Number  of  residents,  o.     Number  of  non-resident  workers,  30-40. 

The  honorable  secretary  writes  :  "  It  is  hoped  that  we  may  be  able  to 
resume  the  work  of  a  residential  settlement  before  long.  Conditions  here 
make  such  work  somewhat  difficult.  The  poorer  classes  do  not  concentrate  in 
any  one  quarter  of  the  town,  but  are  to  b«  found  distributed  in  all  parts. 
Further,  there  are  very  few  university  men  who  have  sufficient  money  or 
leisure  to  enable  them  to  reside  in  a  settlement.  We  therefore  thought  it  best 
to  confine  ourselves  for  the  present  to  an  effort  to  bring  together  in  friendly 
intercourse,  for  the  purposes  of  political  and  social  discussion,  representatives 
of  the  university  and  of  the  laboring   classes,  and  to  avoid   anything  in  the 


New  South  Wales.  63 

nature  of  charity  work.  Sydney  is  already  overloaded  with  charitable  aid 
societies.  We  have  also  identified  ourselves  with  political  agitations  for  the 
amelioration  of  social  conditions,  and  have  lately  had  the  satisfaction  of 
seeing  an  early-closing  act,  the  agitation  for  which  we  were  mostly  responsible, 
become  law.  Our  efforts  to  cultivate  good  feeling  between  class  and 
class  have  not  been  fruitless.  Our  members  have  been  welcomed  in  the 
councils  of  trade  and  labor  organizations,  and  our  assistance  is  sought  from 
time  to  time  by  classes  of  workingmen  who  are  endeavoring  to  improve  their 
condition.  The  work  is  still  in  its  infancy,  and  more  may  be  hoped  for  the 
future."
